Yes. I know the airspace is protected for the entry, even on the "nonholding" side, which has at least 3.5 miles of primary airspace, followed by 2 miles of secondary airspace. This is the reason for the max airspeeds for entering hold.
You don't have course guidance on the outbound, and neither the teardrop nor the direct are any worse in this regard. Parallel is somewhat more risky, but at least you aren't flying away from the course. You may have a partial deflection of the needle. It'd take quite a bit of wind to blow you 5.5 miles away from the course.
