I can be on a 10 mile final significantly higher than I'd like (nominal 3 to 1) and still be stabilized by 1000 AAE. Yes, the controller can certainly recognize an aircraft when its outside its normal parameters from experience, the best option is a "hey, you gonna make it down?" call. I don't want the controller crawling in the cockpit with me, just the same I don't want the pilot trying to control the big picture.
