They said they would do it if I really wanted to but they didn't want me to spend more money to have that done if I didn't need to.

Very interesting, as well a questionable. When an IMS gets to the point of death, the immediate result is the engine jumps time, pistons hit valves, and worse follows; but
the engine stops running forever. I have never seen or heard of an IMS failure where the engine was able to make any sound once the IMS failed.
You need to be under the car when the filter is pulled, otherwise I have no idea what your chosen shop is up to, but in my estimation, it ain't good.
