so hovering IMC is out
Got that. Was only an extreme exaggeration to outline how I depict helicopters being very different from planes.

We used to do ILSs at Belfast down to about 100 feet in our Beavers and I can assure you it is not fun. I certainly wouldn't like to do that in a helicopter.
Interesting. Them Beavers stall at 40kt-ish, you recommended 45kt as min. heli maneuvering speed.

So this is exactly what I'm very intersted in:
why - if I understood correctly - would you do that Belfast thing rather in an IFR-Beaver than an IFR-Heli?
