Jayemm,
You may want to consider the application of meteorolgical terms from a typical commercial operations manual.
'Gust value in TAF- Disregard'.
Also, the wind correction to approach speeds should be considered.
'Add 1/3 of the headwind component or the gust value in full though max. 15 knots total'.
Thus, anything requiring more than 15 kt of wind correction will also require more than normal workload.
TAFs are only forecasts and I reckon you're doing yourself out of some really nice days; sometimes you don't even have to go much over 1000' to get out of the turbulence.
But do stay on the safe side.
