Starship uses a LOT of energy for the flip maneuver. If they could plumb the rocket engine exhaust throught he RCS nozzles, they could land it horizontally. There's no problem at all with having a third fin. It would only cause interference in the situation where they wouldn't be able to roll the ship.
