If I read it correctly (assuming WAAS is available and passes muster) you

Can an RNAV approach have stepdown fixes on the final approach segment?


Yes.

When VNAV first came in they could only be an an LNAV-only IAP. Then,
quite a few years ago that was changed to permit them for LNAV minimums
on an LNAV/VNAV IAP.
