it might not drop right in easy, but it could probably be made to work

No, the 3.3 ring gear is 10 mm thicker than the 3.5. Because the diff attaches to the ring gear, that thickness difference keeps the 3.3 from working with differentials designed for the 3.5.

so that means there is no aftermarket LSD that will work with AT final gear?

Quaife and Cusco are your only 2 options. Quaife is a drop-in for open diff, Cusco is a drop-in for VLSD. If you have VLSD and go Quaife, you need to replace the axle stubs, and vice versa for Cusco.
