I only use 10 degrees of flaps for landing in my 182 for better elevator authority in the flare. The approach is nose high 3 to 5 degrees, and requires looking down the side of the nose in the flare but easy to do with about 1000 feet of ground roll with 70 -75 MPH approach speed.
I don't think I have ever landed a C182, or a PA32  , with anything less than full flaps!

Get some tailwheel time.
You don’t have to see over the nose.
Lindbergh didn’t have a windshield. But he had a periscope! Get some Stearman time. A tiny bit of visibility in the 45 degree left and right quadrants.
