I dropped my sump last spring and was very pleased no debris. That was at 70k miles
Don't know if it was ever done before.
I have original canister filter so I do see a few tiny plastic specs occasionally. Much smaller than those in your sump
I am going to upgrade to LN screw on this spring and probably drop the sump again.
--NOTE: Can the Screw on filters be cut apart to see what's being filtered??

If you are using locktite 5900 sealant, get it warm, it can be really hard to push and maintain a small controlled bead. I soaked in hot water but it was still hard to push out
I put the bead on the engine side and laying under the car trying to push the stuff up was excruciatingly painful.
Next time I'm putting on the sump side as that is such a better working surface.
Just mark where the to surfaces Mate as the sump does have over hangs that don't contact the engine
