Next service, yes. Four years max.
If everthing else checks out, I'd not worry about the extra cost. At least you've got peace of mind that it's been done and you can have four years without worrying.

Just looked at my indie's menu pricing, and it's £500-ish. Not including anything like seals, and add the waterpump if it's needed. I thought it was about £300 last time I had belts only. [

At TWG in Peterborough belts only is £300, but I spent £500 recently to have the waterpump and belts done together
I dont think that it is technically listed as a servicable item by Porsche.. But many get it changed as it is a weak point and a break would be lights out for the engine.
Other S2 oweners will be able to give you an idea as to the un-offical interval - personally I would say check and possibly replace every second belt change - but that may be a little OTT.

There isn't one, but generally it's worth at least checking when you get the belt done. The plastic slippers will be either new, or need doing as they go brittle with age. As always, there's the chance that you might need rollers or oil seals as well, and get the waterpump checked.
Sounds a lot, but you would be very unlucky to need everything and even then you'd be set for many years without having to worry about it.
