I have spoken to two 986 owners and one 996 owner since I have had my Box S (September 09). None of them knew what the IMS was or had ever heard of a failure. Admittedly they were older guys that didn't look to be very interested in forums. One of them had an RMS leak at one point and they updated him to the new seal when he had his clutch replaced. The other issues they had were catalytic converters (one 986) and a problem with the flywheel but nothing with the engines. They all had 50+k on their cars.
