Greg, where can we view this ruling by the NTSB?
Do you or anyone have references to actual situations where pilots
have been violated using "careless and reckless" due to operating in
imc in uncontrolled airspace?

The issue is not operating in IMC in uncontrolled airspace. The OP's
question revolved around descending below the MDA on an instrument
approach without having the runway environment in sight. That's illegal.
