I wonder if it is even worth trying and making extra efforts in order to survive PIP.

The secret answer is...
Your future has already been decided before you were put on PIP. Very few performance improvement plans are related to your performance at all. They are related to budget concerns. Easy way to tell if you can survive PIP is to try to transfer, if you get meetings with other managers who show up, it's worth working out of the PIP. If no other manager will touch you, well your not surviving the PIP. Take the advice of others and look elsewhere.
It might depend on what the PIP is for.
If it is a "utilization PIP" and your utilization is mostly beyond your control (I.E. your team is responsible for assigning you to projects and you can only bill if your clients give you enough work), then try to get additional hours by asking if there are any internal initiatives where you can help or asking if any projects in your department need someone for maybe 6-8 hours a week.
However, this type of "utilization PIP" is very unfair to most employees and the other consulting firms are hiring. There is no reason to stay at a dishonest company like IBM that treats its employees like garbage.
If you are put on a PIP, just devote your time to find a job outside of IBM right away. Most people don't survive a PIP. They are (PIPs) engineered that way.
As a manager, I would say less than 5% for US employees. We are highly discouraged to allow internal transfer for low performers. Which is so contradictory given that is the first thing they do with a poor executive. Canada based employees are extremely difficult to terminate in on individual basis. I have seen them fail 3 pips until finally being let go.
I'd say, just anecdotally, maybe ~10% (?) I've known a lot of people who have received PIPs. Of those, most didn't even try to beat it, and just accepted the "Minimized Separation Allowance," and started looking for another job right away. Of those who did try to beat it, still most dd not ... however, for whatever reasons, a small percentage were able to beat it, and survived to fight another day.
