You're dealing with an event with nearly 400 movements in four hours. Unrealistically busy traffic numbers. Doing practice approaches IFR in that kind of traffic is plainly just not smart and frankly is kind of ridiculous. If the real world PHL was that busy, would you expect them to be able to sequence you in when they're compressing down to 2 nm within 10 nm of the airport? I guarantee you it would not happen.
