Other than going through each approach chart for an airport, does anyone have a good source with a list of airports/approaches that have published glide paths of 3.5 degrees or greater? Does Jepp have anything in the Airway Manuals?

It's usually on the approach chart.

EGLC - 7.5 degrees...
Sorry, thinking back to the 'good ol' days', now a measly 5.5?

Bzandar, it might help if you could provide some reasoning behind the request.
There is certification division at 4.5 degrees between 'normal' and 'steep' glide-paths.
Also, many authorities differentiate between a landing directly from a steep approach - certification required, and those where 'steep' is used within a procedure, followed by a relatively normal landing - procedural approval.
Some aircraft have specific glide-path restrictions, more often for automatic approaches and landing.

I'm getting the impression that the answer to your original question is "No".

BIAR Rwy 01, 5.3° - and don't drift off to the right when you're flying it! Only ILS I've ever flown where you see trees within reach out the right side.

LSZR, I think it is 3.99°

The Gustaf III Airport in Saint Barthelemy provides a unique set of challenges for the pilots who must be individually trained and certified to land on its single runway.
There is a chart on this link

The Canadian-built de Havilland Dash 7 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Dash_7) is the largest aircraft ever allowed to operate at this airport.

VNKT (Kathmandu), if you're not RNP-AR capable 5.7° VOR approach.
