What are you expecting from IPMP? As failover it should be fine (make
sure you monitor it!), but don't think of it as a load balancing
solution like round-robin etherchannel/trunking.
You'd probably want to create 2 public addresses and split some of your
direct clients over to it (via server network interface) to share the
inbound load as much as posssible. Unfortunately, this can only be a
static attempt, not a dynamic one.
