I'm in the same boat.  I /think/ there are games you can play to get
to your nnimap groups from mairix with Gnus, but they basically depend
on you running Gnus on the same machine your IMAP server is running
on.  I never got this to work, and it wouldn't have been a complete
solution anyway.

I would /like/ to write an nnir link type for org, so that we can at
least use IMAP searching for resolving links to articles.
Unfortunately, my attempts so far have foundered upon the rocks of
nnir requiring the groups to be searched to be marked in the Gnus
Group buffer.
