You're making this more complicated than it is. Fly the missed approach
procedure, just go to MGW instead of JST.

I specifically asked to fly the published missed and then go to MGW and this
was denied due to conflicting traffic. I was told to go DIRECT MGW as my
alternate missed approach instructions. I stated I was unable to assure my
terrain clearance if assigned DIRECT MGW on the missed so I wanted to fly
the published missed approach first and I was told again "Unable Published
Missed due to conflicting traffic." So I told them I would accept any
missed approach instructions for which terrain clearance were assured.
Remember, I was in IMC to near-minimums or below-minimums weather and inside
the FAF on an ILS approach -- there was no way I was going to take out a
chart and start calculating terrain clearance for a random route.

If there is another, simpler way I could have resolved this I would be
interested in hearing about another option.
