Actually this would work just fine. Take a look at the "steep approach" button on the A318 panel. For London City ops this is selected and allows for the even steeper glidepath there by automatically deploying the speedbrakes during the descent. An extra callout "Flare" is triggered to give the PF a clue when to raise the nose......

No doubt modern types could be modified accordingly.
