There's quite a few "much more interesting" glide slopes due to terrain, and I don't think there is any real world evidence this is unsafe. 3.2 is within autoland certification limits of transport a/c (no coincidence there), and I agree it shouldn't be such a huge change from 3. Worth a trial. Who knows, maybe it could even sharpen the skills of some pilots...stay ahead of the a/c, and configure early.
(And actually I think it's an interesting question, whether the added noise from being fully configured earlier will be offset by the steeper slope. I'm curious to see the results)
