And without a full IR, you cannot fly a STAR or instrument approach, either for cloudbreak purposes (using the ILS of a nearby field for instance, to get below 1500' and into VMC) or for a full stop landing.
Now, that represents serious limitations for such a critical phase of flight (approach and landing).

You've attained the EIR qualification, and assuming you are ace at instrument procedures, what sense does it make then not to exercise these competencies during approach and landing?

In IFR flying, exercising required privileges during crucial phase of approach and landing should not be constrained, since evolving weather limitations may necessitate execution of instrument procedures.
