But, if I merge as soon as there's space for me I don't have to stress and panic about not having room to get into the other lane or keep driving forward. What do you do if you get to the end of the lane and people aren't letting you in?

The studies were done on highly congested areas. So there wouldn't be an easy way to fit in like I imagine you mean. If it's not congested then I bet it doesn't matter.

As for people not letting you in the study didn't say but I've not found that to be the case. People realize you are at the end of the road and just let you in overall. Not that I've driven everywhere mind you or that a sample size of whatever my experiences are is statistically significant. If it doesn't freak you out too much maybe give it a shot?

Come to NewJersey. It's hit-and-miss, moreso if you duck.
