From the point of view of putting people forward for assessment in the 737 simulator, my experience is that people who have a current IR and have been exercising the privileges regularly stand a far higher chance of passing the assessment.
If, during the early phases of selection you could demonstrate that you have an IR, that you have been actively using the IR, and that you have booked a renewal, then it would be worth your time applying. However, if you have not been actively flying in Instrument conditions, the sim assessment would be a very difficult challenge indeed.
