In my experience, I would say nearly all Sanz definitely *works* with
fully re-entrant tuning. I find only one fugue that gives me any
problems... Every other piece I have tried so far sounds absolutely
great, and makes perfect sense in a fully re-entrant tuning. It takes
a little getting used to... Probably the most difficult pieces to play
are the ones you have played previously on a modern guitar. The logic
of the pieces may prove to be different than you initially thought.
But for all that, the logic is generally consistent... Except that one
darned fugue!

An interesting question. I'd like to see a list too. And a more
contested list of what may well be music for this tuning, but not
actually specified.
I think these are definitely for the fully re-entrant tuning:
Valdambrini
Carre
some (?) Sanz
and?....
