"Missed approach obstacle clearance is predicated on beginning the
missed approach procedure at the MAP from MDA or DA and then climbing
200 feet/NM or greater. Initiating a go-around after passing the
published MAP may result in total loss of obstacle clearance. To
compensate for the possibility of reduced obstacle clearance during a
go-around, a pilot should apply procedures used in takeoff planning.
Pilots should refer to airport obstacle and departure data prior to
initiating an instrument approach procedure."

I don't think this advises against the use of a missed approach
procedure, it just explains that there is reduced obstacle clearance if
you are beyond the MAP or below the MDA/DH and the pilot should
consider that and become familiar with the obstacles.

Since the missed approach procedure is predicated on a climb gradient
of 200'/NM or greater, consider how long it would take an average
aircraft to intercept that flightpath if the missed was initiated a
little beyond or below the published procedure. I think most could
intercept it by the departure end of the runway, thus ensuring obstacle
clearance throughout. The suggestion of climbing at Vx initially
sounds good if you're concerned.
