I've thought of a simpler way to approach this problem. Let's say
that I have a plane and the three Euler angles of rotation, phi,
theta, and psi (roll, pitch, and yaw). Given those three angles, I'd
like to determine which direction around the z axis is most directly
uphill and how steep the

I think you're on the right track. I think you want to determine the
orientation of the aircraft body Z axis w.r.t. the local vertical
axis. That can tell you both the magnitude and direction of the most
vertical
