do 2007 9-5 cars have oil pickup tube clogging issues?

I have a fairly new-to-me 2007 9-5, 138K miles, no maintenance history. I change the oil every ~3K, full synthetic. My concern is the oil pickup tube. Having just dropped the oil pan on my "new-to-me" 2000 Viggen (yes, from the sludge years), I found the pan clean but the oil PU tube very clogged with a combination of sludge and small particles that may be debris from the timing chain guides (black plastic looking things).
When I was looking up a replacement tube for the 2000 Viggen, I am somewhat alarmed to see that its the same PU tube for all years of the 2.3L 9-5. So the all 9-5s have the fine mesh on the tube's screen. Has anyone had issues with this getting clogged by normal motor wear, even without the sludge threat?
