I think they are doing it the most efficient way (similar to the Falcon 9) - that is with 0 hover. The timing doesn't mean much because an entire engine didn't light... so it would have flipped up right faster and slowed down faster. Timing on a failure case doesn't really work. Also it was only 1 engine compared with two, they could gimbal independently and have one course correcting while the other decelerates
