Actually, you can fly into Class A airspace as a private pilot. You can hold an instrument rating as a private pilot.

Actually, your private won't allow you to fly in class A airspace either. You'd need an instrument rating for that.
No pilot can act as PIC if they don't have a BFR, period. If you are a private, and don't have a medical (but do have a driver's license), you can ONLY "exercise the privileges" of Sport Pilot (61.315).
That means, you can not fly at night.
You CAN still fly in the airspaces, because as part of the core curriculum of getting your private, you already had "airspace" training. Airspace training is "optional" in Sport Pilot. Sport Pilots need an endorsement. You already have it with your private certificate.
Honestly, I'm not even sure what your question is any more.
