I've got my doubts about that KCRQ LOC/DME approach. The 4.2 DME step looks really limiting: 3.6° -ish to get down to the runway from there?
Maybe... but on the old chart there was a drop from 2300 ft around CIDRU right down to a 1000 ft MDA and only timing to define MAPt... so at least something has improved. Usually good weather at KCRQ, but in evening/night/morning marine layer can drift in and occasionally give weather close to CATI minima, and often lower than LLZ minima. LPV isn't a bad back up.
