Roll the dice.

The 99s are dual row, they are not prone to fail any more than any other part in the engine.
The rods will fail too, eventually.
I think its more PR to tell anyone with a Boxster to hurry out to your approved IMS bearing installer and have it switched out asap regardless of the year.
