The thing that would make it strandable, I think, is if "get to V" were generally applicable as a construction meaning "come into the state of Ving" (is this "inchoative"? It seems a little too gradual to deserve that name, but maybe it is) but in point of fact it's not --- at least not the way I talk. In isolation I would expect "to get to" means "to have permission to"/"to be able to", and such a thing makes no sense in the imperative.
