Be sure your game has the Baldurdash patches, one of whom restores some missing thief skill points for Imoen. With that patch, I believe she has 100% find traps and 95% open locks, which is plenty. In my very first game I managed chapters 2-4 (pre-Imoen rescue) thief needs with Nalia and lots of potions.
Jan is a FAR more effective choice, though... right off the bat he's a fantastic thief at pretty much anything except stealth and trapsetting, and his bonus spells from being an Illusionist are handy also. Also, don't underestimate his Detect Illusions skill.
Also, after experiencing Jan's side quests, I think he definitely belongs much more in a good party than an evil one.
In my current party, I've decided to simply keep Yoshimo up to Spellhold, and swap Imoen in at that point. If you haven't done it that way at least once, you should.
