You can probably also include Ira Isaacs case. He was arrested and charged with 2257 violations in addition to obscenity. However, the 2257 charges were dropped after the lower court ruling in the Connections case which found 2257 to be unconstitutional, until it was reversed. They never reinstated the 2257 charges though.

Yes, but in both of those cases the 2257 charges were add-ons to far more serious charges.
No one has yet been prosecuted solely for 2257 record keeping violations, and I have serious doubts that anyone ever will.
When the FBI does an inspection, they're not on a fishing expedition, they know what they're looking for well in advance and are simply after confirmation. Unless you're promoting some fairly questionable content, as strictly a secondary producer, having the FBI show up to do an inspection isn't very likely.
What is far more likely given the economic climate and current administration is that well see porn taxed in some form.
