Where is the acronym fairy when you need it!
If there's not there should be. I can think of several reasons why that could end poorly.

BTW, our very own @Planeform was in one of those CMV-22s.
A few more from ship's media of the event.
ATLANTIC OCEAN (Aug. 6, 2018) An MV-22 Osprey, assigned to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (HX) 21, lands aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77). George H.W. Bush is underway conducting routine training exercises to maintain carrier readiness. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Roland John)

The Osprey has big enough wheels that it shouldn’t be a problem, and you’re not going very fast.
Big deal. We’ve been using these on Super Secret Squirrel missions for years now...and the Russians have no clue!
Yes, taxi obstacle height is a NATOPS limit for us and we usually land beyond any gear.
As for the roll on, most VMMs plan for a 10% HOGE torque margin at the ship (at least in training) to facilitate coming to hover and landing vertically to the helo spots. A roll on requires less mast torque to execute than a hover, so rolling on allows them to land safely with more fuel/stuff.

Yeah, all rotor aircraft use require less power to do a running takeoff/landing, so if you're max gross, high altitude, etc, we like to run it on if able. Single engine emergency running landing to the back of a FFG is sketchy shit!
Max the Mad Russian
Hands off Ukraine! Feet too
Which is exactly why it never was a plan in my experience. SE to a spot with the brakes on and if you slide a little on the non-skid, so be it. Honestly, if there was any single-spot ship I had to land SE on, it would be a FFG since the flight deck is so long and relatively flat.
