Does anyone consider it somewhat dangerous that at your alternate
airport, the weather can be forecast to be as low as your alternate
minimums? Seems the potential for problems.

But that's the definition of alternate minimums - the weather must be
forecast to be at least as good as the alternate minimums.

For example, using Carlsad California CRQ as the planned alternate,
where the VOR-A is the approach you plan to fly if necessary (assume
the ils is out). For a cat C aircraft, the alternate minimums are
1000 and 3. The approach minimums are 972 feet height above airfield,
and 3 miles without dme.

Why assume the ILS is out? If it's out, the alternate minimums should be
higher. If the permitted approach minimums are 972/3, then that's why
the alternate minimums are 1000/3, obviously.

So is this all ok?

Why wouldn't it be? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but I
don't see a problem with any of this, just from your post, no other
information available.
