Landout at Class C or D tower-controlled airport?
One of the undisclosed advantages of an off airport landing is the (usual) lack of conflicting traffic.
Another hidden advantage of an ancient IFR rating is knowing how to talk to ATC.
Most Class D towers are happy to know how to reach the blip on their radar repeater.
But ATC can get a headache when every glider within 20 miles starts reporting position when they mention an unknown glider in a certain sector. Same for the pilot of concern who is trying to get a word in edgewise.
