if you fly a 3 degree approach even at 2 miles you'd only be at 600 feet !! Just how low do you turn final??

How do you combine a neat visual ciruit with 3 degree approach??

3 degrees *is* dragging it in through the weeds - chop the power on final and see how far short of the field you'll fall.

Yes, for IFR procedure traffic the ILS is usually 3 degrees. It's optimised for multi engine jet transports, not SE light aircraft.
