I haven't done a relay driver circuit for, literally, eons.
Where do I look for reed relays that work on 3.3V supplies with
specications for the coil inductance?
Thanks!

That's a toughie.
I can't recall ever seeing inductance data on a spec sheet; I think
you'll probably have to go to the manufacturer for that one.

Would not the real question be why would someone concern himself with
the solenoid inductance of a miniature relay? I could see it if it were
huge.
Jim designs custom IC's, so (I assume) he's concerning himself with it so
he can make the output stage of his circuit both economical and robust.
He may even care about making the relay turn off quickly.
It seems like a perfectly valid concern to me, even if the circuit in
question _isn't_ custom -- what if you're powering the relay from logic,
and want to insure fast & safe turn-off?
Dead-on, Tim!
