FAR 91.175 (a) suggests that it is not permitted to carry out a
descent in IMC except on an official published IAP.

Any views on this?


FAR 91.175 (a) suggests nothing, it states, "Unless otherwise authorized by
the Administrator, when an instrument letdown to a civil airport is
necessary, each person operating an aircraft, except a military aircraft of
the United States, shall use a standard instrument approach procedure
prescribed for the airport in part 97 of this chapter."



How would it differ if the entire procedure was done in Class G?


It wouldn't differ in any way, the regulation is not limited by class of
airspace.
