I am not professing to not fly the appropriate track during a visual go around, what I am saying is that once on a visual approach, and this is getting a little obtuse now, that you are no longer under IFR. Terrain clearance and maintaining VMC until appropriate communication is established is the expectation.
Regardless, choosing to expedite your arrival in less than optimum conditions may increase your work load and leave you in a position that you'd rather not be.
As far as protecting airspace from other traffic, it is not likely that you will have a problem with published missed approaches, just keep in mind you will need a clearance at some point if you wind up IMC.
And yes, been to to HNL many times and didn't expect to go to ALANA or GECKO and hold if I had a pull up on a visual; clear the terrain, likely as per the published miss and anticipate a vector downwind.
Aviate, navigate, communicate.
