The OP asked what should be the maximum rate of descent for any aircraft in class G, mentioning it was in relation to an incident, also asking about regulations.

"Any aircraft" includes pressurised or unpressurised. The question is not in relation to "best" or "most comfortable" rate of descent - it is about the maximum.

AFAIK there is none - if there was it would put most restriction on pressurised high speed aircraft e.g. RPT jets. It could also pose a problem for vertical aerobatic maneuvers.
