The days of airliners with people doing late base turns onto finals are gone
Incorrect. Try Samos for one, where the 90 degree offset VOR approach requires a visual manoeuvre which has you rolling out in final at 400ft. Or how about Madeira runway 05? Following the curved lead in lights has you lined up at 313ft above the threshold. Or the other end, where you remain left of the extended centreline literally until just before touchdown due to terrain proximity. Just because Big Airways go to mainly big airfields doesn't mean everyone else only does this.

There is no such thing as a "Sidestep manoeuvre".
Better tell Jepp and the Spanish then as Gran Canaria has a ILS to 03L with ILS minima and LOC only to SIDESTEP to 03R minima published.......
