Just sharing my experience as I was going for my RPL/PPL with 8+ hours (= 8 lessons) under my belt, and after applying for Class 2 Medical and seeing a DAME, and reviewing posts, discussing with instructors and pilots, I finally decided to put everything on hold, for the time being.
This is because I don't want to risk getting my Class 2 refused, which would leave a big stain in my flying history, but also prevent me from ever going for sport licence, which don't require medicals, but cannot be granted if you've ever been denied one.
So my advice is not to got for your RPL or PPL if there's a risk you wont pass your medicals as it could prevent you from flying anything ever again.
