Crosswinds do offer challenges to TW aircraft. They dominated when airfields where squares vice rectangles. So you tended to always land into the wind. My worst was at Roswell NM a 30+kt wind. None of the runways had an orientation that would work for the old Birddog, which had pathetic ability to cope with crosswinds. I ended up opting for the extremely wide, B36 runway they have left over form the cold war. It is only striped for the middle , but hey, it could all be used as overrun. So I wheel landed on the downwind side stripe. Got the wheels planted, then rudder turned the nose into the wind and did a very short diagonal stop.

I had a very interesting take-off in Cold Bay AK. The winds did their jump from dead calm to 50 in 15 minutes. We needed to get out of there before it got worse. Jumped in started up the Twin Otter, but by the time we where turning, the winds had gone to almost 80. It was not possible to turn perpendicular to the wind to get to the runway. So I let it roll back to the edge of the ramp, dropped 20° flaps added power and lifted off the fuel ramp like a helo. By the time we turned downwind the FSS called out to us it had increased to 105. Ended up sucking the windows off the back side of the tower that night. Had 300 kts groundspeed down the Cook Inlet, impressive for an Otter.

While that flight pushed the edge of prudent ops, the time I opted to stay, I ended up parking a pair of snowplows in front of the Twin Otter to break the wind. I used about 10 cargo straps to secure the aircraft. It would still lift off the ground and hang a couple of inches up and slam down. Had to keep going out all night to check the straps. Still have a memory of chuffing down the road on the three wheeler, with the wind whistling and salt spray going in one nostril and out the other, leaving a trail of slime to run down my cheek. You just have to love Alaska.

Even taxing a tail dragger can be tough, as pointed out. I have worn a tailwheel to the cord taxiing from one side of MIA to the other in the 185 in high winds and the TW lock engaged.
