THEY LANDED THE WHOLE SHIP!

It's the Deck of Kings.
I never had a problem with it. The warp nacelles are the heaviest part of the ship and they would counterbalance the saucer, wouldn't they? The rear half of the ship also has all the heavy engineering equipment, whereas the saucer is mostly empty space such as corridors and rooms.
I like that they did it, I like that they showed it was possible, but ultimately seeing Voyager landing on a planet simply underlined to me the genius of the transporter and the shuttlecraft in the first place. Nobody needs to ever land a starship in a Star Trek series, except perhaps in an emergency.
Indeed, with Star Trek often striving for the feel of a future navy, then sending officers off while the ship stays in orbit makes sense. Traditionally, 'scouting parties' from old naval vessels were usually sent in-land on smaller watercraft while the main ship stayed anchored out in the bay.

It crashes on the icy planet, in an alternate reality that is...
It never even got to put its little feet out in that one.
