Basically, I need to do something about the spam inundation, as soon as

Is there any reason that I should NOT be performing the sa-learn
training under the "amavis" user account?
In general, all training should be done as the user that SA (in your case,
SA via Amavis) is running as.
If you have your system configured for per-user Bayes databases, then
you'd need to train as the user whose database you want to affect.
What is your bayes_path config?
Would doing so preclude me from creating training folders for individual
IMAP users in the future?
They're not related. Per-user ham and spam training folders doesn't
preclude using those messages for training a global Bayes database.
You actually may want to implement a hybrid folder model: per-user ham
training folders and a global spam training folder. Misclassified ham
could potentially be private messages that the recipient doesn't want
other users to see, but for misclassified spam who cares?
Or can I train under the "amavis" user for now and then "layer-on"
training for individual IMAP users in the future without undesirable
consequences?
As stated above, if you're not enabling per-user Bayes *databases*, the
question is meaningless. Are you going to configure per-user Bayes
databases? Or (as I suspect is more likely) perform global database
training from individual users whose judgement you trust?
