There isn't a list per se; I was using that term metaphorically.  dash,
posh, ksh, mksh, and pdksh all have support for diverting /bin/sh to

What kind of support are you looking for? Calling zsh as sh will put
it into compatible mode, so bending the symlink is no problem.

I want the zsh package to ask me if it should divert /bin/sh, like the
other shells do.  In other words, I want zsh to be supported as
/bin/sh; if there is a bug with /bin/sh compatibility, that that bug
will be taken seriously.

Wanna write a proposal?

I may at some point.  I suspect it will be technically difficult,
though.
