Yeah if there are a lot of fragments from the IMS, that means the bearing is about to fail at any momment. It is very rare/extremely lucky for someone to catch the failure at that exact time just from inspecting the oil and filter.

It sounds like your engine has other problems from possibly bad maintenance. Although that's not certain.
