I love the long chairs in the Meta asset library but unfortunately the standard avatar pose does not work with them. Is there any way to specify a recliner pose instead?

Not with the pose gizmo. Instead you could find an animation pose to put the avatar in.

I see references to grab poses and death poses but not anything I could do when interacting with a chair. Do you have a link to an example?

No u need custom avatar animation. It is no longer a pose in HW term. Basically u play a sitting anim in loop while disabling movements of ur avatar which is equivalent to pose gizmo

Apparently avatar animations don't work in VR right now. So it appears that there is no solution except for mobile-only games.

For VR there are restrictions indeed, u may need to try hiding the avatar and use custom animated mesh instead... But that wont retain the avatar look
