The requirement to report a go-around is only an impediment to doing go-arounds if the management and training cultures treat the need for a go-around as a sign of weakness.

Back in the day when I was processing ASRs, the boss made sure that my acknowledgement for every report of a go-around due to an unstable approach included a thank you for acting in a safe and responsible manner. Not once were the crew's actions second-guessed. In many cases, their reports prompted us to revise the briefing notes for airports where there was a greater likelihood of an unstable approach.
