Anything that cruises faster will obvious need slowing down more, if your in a SR22 your not going to want to come in c.150kts obviously...
With an ILS, it can be argued that one should be at the glideslope intercept at the gear limiting speed. For me this is 130kt. Then one drops the gear, 1 stage of flap, and slows down while tracking the GS/LOC down.

That is the best way for slotting in with fast traffic behind, and I think every plane can do that.

What can be a challenge, or impossible, is finding oneself at the GS intercept doing say Vlo+40kt You will never be able to lose 40kt going down clean-config at 3 degrees.

The same principles apply to NP approaches, but possibly worse as the "glideslope" can be steeper than an ILS.
