I think you're totally right. My plans is not to get my
ticket and stop training. Quite the opposite. But there
is still a difference between IR training (4-5 instructor
hours a week) and maintaining proficiency.


I don't see the difference. If you are ready for the checkride today then
you only need to fly enough to maintain that proficiency. It is the same
whether you have the rating or not.
