There is consensus. The non-US pilots just don’t accept it.
Set the missed approach altitude from the IAP you’re using as a backup. Really not that hard, and it takes away 90% of the guesswork of hypothesising about theoretical problems IF you go missed.
There are other things that generate emails from our safety department regarding visuals.
