The problem is getting the 1.5 hours (of the 3 required) in the glider to
get current. Since you are single seat, you cannot legally do simulated
instrument. That means getting in the appropriately equipped 2-seater to get
legally current.
The original poster had a motorglider. Should that be a two seater, the
challenges get smaller.

Question:
Can I, a commercial & instrument rated power and glider pilot legally
fly IFR in a motorglider (which is IFR certified) if I do not have a
current medical?
Oh, this is a good one :-). I suspect that your certificate reads
"instrument, airplane" but, a motor glider is not an airplane, as far as
the FAA is concerned.

An instrument airplane rating is required to operate IFR in a glider.
Currency requirements as defined in
Section 61.57: Recent flight experience: Pilot in command.
(2) For the purpose of obtaining instrument experience in a glider,
performed and logged under actual or simulated instrument conditions--
(i) At least 3 hours of instrument time in flight, of which 1\1/2\
hours may be acquired in an airplane or a glider if no passengers are
to be carried; or
(ii) 3 hours of instrument time in flight in a glider if a passenger
is to be carried.
Note that being intrument current in airplanes does not assure
instrument currency in gliders.
