A couple of years ago (at 35k mi) I had my IMS upgraded (LN) and opted to have the clutch proactively replaced. When I got the car back, the pedal engaged much higher than before and was significantly stiffer. Having owned many manual cars, I wasn't concerned as clutch replacement always changed the feel. Point of all of this is....clutch feel (to me at least) is subjective and the "ideal feel" varies from person to person.
I'm sorry I can't speak to your issue directly from a technical standpoint, nor can I say if what you are experiencing is of any concern. Perhaps there is another 986 owner in your area (or better yet, a forum member close) that would allow you to drive their car to compare pedal feel.
