If it fails, I'll either sell the dead carcass for a few thousand and never buy another Porsche again, or maybe take advantage of the situation and try to find someone with experience installing a 3.8L 997S engine into it and make it a rocket.
If I ever have the transmission out and am replacing the clutch, I would probably do the IMSB for good measure, just not willing to spend that much for nothing in hope that I'm fixing a problem.

After some research, I discovered that it doesn't have to cost 3K to do the IMS upgrade. In fact, for low mileage vehicles such as yours and mine that probably don't require any clutch work, , with the right "indy" the service can be performed for under 2K . Not bad for something that will not only protect your investment, but give you a piece of mind as well .
