r.univar can take multiple multiple maps as input and from that you could get max. r.slope and others would work best on a VRT or r.patch from the individual rasters.

r.patch? Or for loop over all the individual rasters w/ r.info to find the max? That won't work for r.slope because of edge effects.

A VRT is probably easiest / best.
