No there are no regulations for climb or descent rates for VFR

Err I don't think that's 100% correct but it will do for MX.

Please then for my benefit point me to such a regulation.

Technically speaking, it is illegal to descend faster than about
25,000fpm (needs to be adjusted based on density, since it's give in
terms of indicated airspeed) when below 10,000ft. I doubt too many
flights would need to worry about this limitation.

Or climb!

Even fewer planes have to worry about that one!

It's interesting to consider that this limit wouldn't even be broken by a
skydiver who hadn't opened his chute yet.

But in fact this can be waived and very frequently is.

It seems just about any of them can be waived if you talk to the right
people and have a good enough case. I guess this one is particularly easy
though.
