Apparently you can get a 787-800 in there

Flying over it yesterday and the FMC seems to think it could cope with the glide angle (but not the go around gradient). The Performace suggests that at 185,000 tons with a five knot tailwind Max Autobrake would stop you going off the end. Still suspect you would need speedbrake to prevent acceleration down the slope?
