Those notches can freeze and fall off in those cold Siberian winters.

Never used Ajusa but they are a US company out of Cranberry, NJ and a subdivision of CRP Industries.
CRP Industries is a long term partner of Continental AG which you know for the ContiTech automotive belts.
Not a fly by night company like the US company Ürine.

The IM gasket's function is pretty simple, I would go with it.

I wouldn't like if i would need to replace it in a year because of a leak at intake,fuel mixture and idling problems.....read...to run like crap.

Rspi was talking recently about some intake manifold gasket leak in 6 months with non oem or oe gasket.

Parts for PCV system service ordered from a Volvo dealer.
Intake manifold gasket from Volvo is cheaper than Victor Reinz from auto parts store.

Ajusa IM gasket was not an option for this job.

Sounds like a smart move!
