Sounds like a personal problem. At least do it with a superior culture, like Gothic.

It's not useless. If you give up mainland Europe provinces and core all of Ireland you will accept Irish culture. 10% was mostly useless but 20% isn't.
Then don't convert them. If you're planning to conquer a lot of mainland provinces you should convert them but it at least it gives you a lot more time before needing to do so and it helps with the reformation. A lowered acceptance threshold of 20% is going to be useful throughout the game though if you are conquering provinces. You'll accept Cosmo 20% sooner for example.
For example, an England game forfeiting the HYW could look something like this:
1) Peace out of HYW, giving up all French provinces.
2) Fab claims on irish provinces
3) [Optional] Support Swedish independence (I do this)
4) DOW any irish nation that's allied with Scotland, fully pull Scotland into the war
5) Vassalize Scotland in above war, conquer all Irish provinces
6) Culture convert Welsh provinces
7) After coring all Irish provinces you will have accepted Irish culture - at this point you have full control over British Isles and Ireland with all accepted culture
8) Limited colonization due to temporary Catholic religion (you can colonize since you didn't waste a bunch of Dip points converting culture)
9) With all accepted culture you'll be ready for the Reformation - I convert Protestant as soon as it's activated
10) Diplo-form GB, convert Religion in Scotland (hopefully at tail end of conversion bonus buff from converting religion)
11) The world is your oyster (and you can convert Irish culture at your leisure/when you have excess points)
France's Elan is useless if you play a peaceful game where your only way of expansion is dipvassaling and dipannexing.
Russia's manpower ideas are useless if you only use mercenaries.
Poland's winged hussars are useless because you prefer to build 10/0/10 stacks.
