997 IMS failure is very very rare. when the 997 first came out Porsche did use the so called " flawed design" from the 996 only for a very short time to very early 997 builds, which were primarily "S" model 997's. Anything 2006+ the dealer network with inside information deems to be safe. The entire Intermediate shaft was improved, i've seen the difference in person.

Failure=Yes.
Low speed! 2005 997.2. Mileage was 58k. Cost to replace IMS and also clutch was $12k.
I am very happy that I spent the $ and still have the beautiful 911 !!!!
Pat Williams (Memphis, TN) did the replacement. He replaced with a new, larger bearing Porsche 2016 part #. Removed the seal so that the oil can lubricate the bearings. This is how it is done!
Will last longer than me!
