Knowing your power-off descent rate will help.

This whole discussion sounds like an argument against power-on
approaches.

I was taught power-on by a former military pilot. Then he went off to
the airlines and my new, older, civilian-trained pilot instructed me
to go throttle all the way back at the numbers, then fly the rest of
the pattern without any more power than it took to "clear" the engine
from time to time.
