I have a Ventura Marlin awning, which pegs on the outside with a mudwall (more of a skirt, really) on the inside. I find that if that too is pegged down, rather than just tucked under the groundsheet or left to flap about, then the tension is maintained on the pegging rubbers and it makes the whole thing far more sturdy. If I'm on an exposed site then every rubber and pegging hole gets a peg, and the awning is very resilient, despite being only a part awning and so not in the awning rail at the sides.
Having said all that, it does mean that rain can blow under the awning in really strong winds, which would be less of a problem with an outward-facing mudwall.
