I am not sure how you decided that the ADF is required only for the
missed approach. The AVN NDB serves as the IAF and the holding fix. It
is required in order to fly the feeder route from FAULT intersection.
AVN is also the fix from which the MSA and the 10-NM approach area are
determined. Unless I am looking at the wrong approach chart, it seems
to me that you need the ADF in order to fly this approach.
