My point is if you are unestablised at 2000 feet in IMC - being unestablised means you no longer are where you should be.
I don't approach it that way. The Stabilised Approach concept was introduced to stop aircraft having landing accidents by landing too fast or long. If you are not landing ie you have already made the decision NOT to land, there is no need to immediately execute a Missed Approach (except to continue on the approach track until you get to the Missed Approach point.

You are legally allowed to proceed along the LLZ, even way above the GP, until the MAPt by following the LLZ procedure (if it's published), then do the missed approach. Provided you are stay above the altitude restrictions for the LLZ approach, you can even keep descending. This may go some way to getting the aircraft "near" the "expected" MAPt below the 1000ft restriction during the Missed Approach.

That said, this approach would need to be carefully briefed.
