No, I set the IS to panning mode.

Replace "you" with "one" and it will make more sense. "It" refers to using VR when panning with slow shutter speeds, where "one" is more likely to see the choppiness in the background.
Interesting! My E-M1mrII doesn't create any "choppiness" when panning with the full IS on. I know that it is suggested that it be turned off in the manual, but but they might be talking about panning with a high shutter speed and not slow like I been trying. Also, the IS is totally in the body and none in the lense. That may make a difference also.

I shoot with a Canon 80D and I leave it on. I haven't tried it with IS off, but I'm happy with the results I get with it on. Here's a recent post of mine FYI: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-595733-1.html
Here's another post: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-584483-1.html I've tried doing it with a string tripod and can't tell any difference. Your keeper rate isn't great, but memory cards are cheap.

Are you using a tripod? Also does the lens have three options for VR, off, 1 and 2? If you have two different VR options, one is probably designed for panning. Your lens manual will tell you.

If you have older VR, yes, if your camera/lens has active subject VR, leave it on, but set to active mode. Are you panning at long shutter speeds? My best advice is to test for yourself with your own gear to see if you get the results you are looking for.
