Underexposed the sunset, and lit the scene with unwarmed flash. No shutter dragging.

Anything over 1 and you need it if you have any "professional" looking equipment" - reflectors , seperate flash etc. I have 3 it was all in getting in touch with the park manager, which can be difficult depending on the park.

My $.02 on the color temp issue. The sunset shot involves two exposures. The background exposure is controlled by aperture & shutter speed, while the subject's exposure is controlled by flash plus some contribution from the ambient. If there's too great a differential between the exposure levels, you'll need to use a filter on the lens, or a gel on the strobe, or make selective adjustments in post processing. But if the delta is only a stop or so, the color temp issues goes away. Here's an example from one of my weddings.
