During arrival into ZZZ we received 4 runway changes in about 5 minutes time. We were then broken off the arrival and vectored around for a visual approach to XXL. Reaching the ZZZZZ fix we received a fuel imbalance caution message. We then switched the fuel selector to the correct side to balance fuel and landed within limitations for a fuel imbalance. We felt rushed and focused on flying the visual correctly. Upon receiving the caution; we felt like going around was a more unsafe decision than continuing on the approach; due to the distraction and complexity that were that we were experiencing. Always go around whenever a caution message appears. Run the QRH as directed.
After a rushed departure due to company operations. The aircraft was initially over fueled (may have played a role). Descending on the ZZZZZ arrival we were assigned multiple runway changes and arrival transition changes in sterile. This caused task saturation. Finally we were assigned RNAV visual for [Runway] XXR. On the approach we received a fuel imbalance message turning onto final at ZZZZZ1. We were able to promptly balanced and corrected the issue. We landed with the selector off and a imbalance within limitations. Cause was gusty wind condition; multiple runway/transition changes; rushing because we were 'leading the pack'; and no clear reason why the fuel imbalance was caused (pilot error; mechanical; etc.) I feel we should have considered a go-around. I was behind the airplane and task saturated. I should have verbalized this to the captain. We could have requested delay vectors and potentially broke of the approach to fix and trouble shoot the issue.
ERJ-175 flight crew reported electing to land with a fuel imbalance rather than complete the QRH procedure.
