How much experience under IFR/IMC do you guys feel like a person
should have in order to effectively (not just legally) perform as a
CFII?

While great to have real world experience there are plenty of people
teaching plenty things with little or no real world experience in the
subject.

Right. I took guitar lessons from guys like that when I was a teenager.
So my question stands, or, to rephrase:

If you were sponsoring a student or family member's instrument rating and I
was a candidate for the instructor role, how many hours of IFR/IMC do you
think would be a worthy minimum?
