GS capture from above

ASRAAM: I think "no sponsor" has a good answer: if you must capture GS from above, never set MCP alt lower than field elevation + 500 ft, unless you're stabilised on GS and past the FAF.

I would guess that GS capture from above before passing the FAF can be OK, but doing it after FAF in IMC would make me very nervous.
