IF there is no emergency turn published for a departure in your airline for your aircraft type. What are the basics for performance to clear obstacles?
That question sounds frightening to me

it can take up to 10.4 NM to reach 1500' agl

I know that, For example Old Smokey, assures obstacle clearance to MSA and gives you a place to hold Mutt and John_Tullamarine are also very conservative, but the bare minima are all written up, in your case JAROPS1???

in the past one could add up the total distance of all of the segments and then use obstacle charts to determine max runway weight, but I don't think many folks do it that way anymore

I hope one of the performance guys here can clarify this; but it sounds bad at first glance
