Lacking constexpr std::max, maybe a trick like this:

template <typename... Records>
struct MaxSize {};

template <typename Record, typename... Records>
struct MaxSize<Record, Records...> {
  static const size_t value = sizeof(Record) >= MaxSize<Records...>::value ?
sizeof(Record) : MaxSize<Records...>::value;
};

template <>
struct MaxSize<> {
  static const size_t value = 0;
};

SkAlignedSStorage<MaxSize<SkRecords::DrawPath, SkRecords::DrawRect,
SkRecords::DrawTextBlob>::value> fBuffer;

+
+    static_assert(sizeof(SkRecords::DrawRect)     <= sizeof(SkRecords::DrawPath), "");
+    static_assert(sizeof(SkRecords::DrawTextBlob) <= sizeof(SkRecords::DrawPath), "");
+};
