Worth it to 'check' IMS bearing during clutch? Clutch recommendations?

Are you suggesting to preventively reinstall another?

Otherwise, what mileage are they good for?

The warranty is only good for 5 years, regardless of mileage.

That sounds like a better warranty than Porsche's standard powertrain warranty.

Yes, but Porsche never claimed that the car was a "permanent solution"

I have $45 brake pads on my Subaru with a better warranty.

Actually they did (indirectly) as Porsche considered the IMS was a 'Non Serviceable Item' which (by the way) you could not buy from them by itself.

"Indirectly" is the operative word there. LN is quite direct in their claim of "permanent solution." And Porsche is correct, it is a non-serviceable item. No bearing is serviceable.

I haven't tried buying one off Porsche, but my guess is that it's sold with the IMS as an assembly. It's not uncommon for manufacturers to only sell certain parts as part of an assembly.
