I have an 01 S with 21k. Obviously concerned about the IMS which I know can implode at any time without warning.

The engine is still within spec, but one side is close to the limit, which could indicate chain pad wear. Normally, you would run the car on the road until it is thoroughly warmed up before taking these measurement's as doing it on an only slightly warmed up engine will generate misleading results.
And, yes, straight lines at idle are a good thing.
