Did anyone have experience with the IMS monitoring Guardian jr. Just out of curiosity!

I installed the Guardian Jnr last year on my 2006 C2S. I test it when I change the oil. Car now has approximately 68k miles. I love this Porsche and plan to drive it for many years to come. I expect that it may end up with one of my kids some day.
Last year I dropped the trani and removed the outer seal to the IMS bearing. See post #48 in,
Clutch, AOS, Water Pump, Thermostat DIY Questions - Page 3 - 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S) - RennTech.org Forums
Also described in that post is my test as to how little oil is required to reach the IMS bearing- only 4 liters which is good news seeing that I have the larger non-removable bearing.
I really do not worry about the IMS issue any more. Instead, I am religious about changing the oil every 5k with Motul 10w40, I open up the filter and examine it thoroughly, oil is always topped up to the max ( not even half a bar down is acceptable to me), I always have the revs above 2,500 rpm even when just cruising, and I never, never park the car on an incline with the rear facing down.
As soon as I finish my current project build, I plan to do a clutch job and instal a DOF lubrication system as added insurance.
It's such a great car and I plan to enjoy it for many years to come. A bargain.
Cheers,
Johan
