1. I am still on Ubuntu 18.04.6. I know it sounds strange, but in the past 5-6 years I was so busy, that I was upgrading only the components I actually actively use in my research work, namely Wolfram Mathematica, python (with all scientific modules) etc. But yes, at some point I will need to switch. I never "upgrade", but always install from scratch and then spend several days tweaking the system to my liking. The reason I didn't upgrade to Ubuntu 20 is that I really disliked the idea of using snap. I am used to having a full control over every single instruction my CPUs are executing and snap somewhat distances the user of the system from what is happening inside, imo.

2. The im-config package could not be removed without removing gnome-control-center, which would be extremely inconvenient. So, no, it is still installed. I would gladly remove it, but because of this dependency I had to keep it.
