There are the official specs on XSLT 3.0, XPath 3.1, XPath 3.1 functions
and operators, if you go schema-aware the XSD specs.

There are the Saxon documentations which contain a good part of
reference documentations of XSLT instructions, XPath functions and
certainly anything new in XSLT 3, like streaming, maps, arrays.

Some people I don't know have build what goes as an XSLT 3.1 reference
online https://xsltdev.com/.

As for tutorials and explanations, Dimitre has courses on Pluralsight,
Ken on some other site (Udacity?).

Then there are talks/papers by Norm
https://www.balisage.net/Proceedings/vol25/print/Walsh01/BalisageVol25-Walsh0
1.html
and Jirka https://www.kosek.cz/xml/2019xmlss/Kosek_XSLT4DailyCoding.pdf

Liam is always looking for students for his XSLT 3 course, I think.
