The answer to your interpretation is simple. If you don't have a clearance or VFR conditions before reaching
the controlled airspace boundary, you remain within uncontrolled airspace. It's analogous to being prepared
to slam on the brakes if the light doesn't turn green.


But you can't legally remain below 700 ft AGL when IFR. Gotta be at least 1000 feet above anything within four miles or 2000 in mountainous terrain (or something like that).

So you're stuck. Can't climb, can't descend. Every direction is illegal. That makes it careless and reckless.
