I think you should still report the -ivreg2- estimates and diagnostics.
In particular, *you should not use -ivprobit- for this case*
--look at this from the -ivprobit- help file:
"Both estimators assume that the endogenous regressors are continuous
and are not appropriate for use with discrete endogenous regressors."
