The WAT limits are the minimum airworthiness design standards climb gradients (1st, 2nd, 4th segment min gradients and 3rd segment capability, approach and landing overshoot minimum climb gradients) which are intended to give some small climb capability and which go into the takeoff and landing weight calculation process.
The gear horn will come on with flap beyond approach and gear not down as a warning for landing mis-configuration.
As Capt Stable notes, the risk of a temporary touchdown is very high for a low level missed approach ... those who are Cat 2/3 qualified will know all about this ....
