Anyone on here have an IMS failure with Tiptronic trans?

As the title asks, anyone on here have an IMS failure with Tiptronic trans?

Changed my oil today for the first time since I got the car. The car has 103k miles on it with a Tiptronic transmission. I found no metal of any kind in the filter and it made me wonder if Tiptronic trans equipped cars are less susceptible to IMS failure since they don't redline the tach. Thinking maybe over revs on a manual trans cause the IMS problems?
