It's not clear to me that there is any regulatory requirement to use
the PTS, since the FARs don't require it.

Well, if that were true then that would indeed end the whole discussion.
Yet FAR 61.57 does reference the IFR PTS:


"until that person passes an instrument proficiency check consisting of a
representative number of tasks required by the instrument rating practical
test"

I suppose you are saying that all that is regulatory is that there be some
number of tasks listed in the PTS but the IPC task list is not regulatory?
Does anyone else agree here?
