Default Oxygen sensor - when is it really bad? ...
I mean, I occasionally get this DTC:

16517 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Response too Slow
P0133 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

But I guess it's not frequent enough to trip the MIL/CEL light. Does it mean I'm still OK or does this sensor need replacing ASAP?

keep an eye on it. when it starts to fall off it's time to change the sensors'.

I'd probably replace it then. too bad the $25 VW one doesn't work on the '01.
