Not to the minibuffer.  To the general buffer.  if your alternative
thing breaks like this, it will probably also break when the user
sets it legitimately.

In fact, I wonder if this is not also the case with the other UIs
that Augusto was having trouble with.

What I'm looking for is for a completion table-- a source
of completions -- to strongly suggest a completion style,
in case there's no explicit override by the user.

(Your other points kinda make sense, maybe, I didn't read
through all of them)

PS: Have you tried Eglot?  I wonder if Icicles works with it.  I admit
I've never tried Icicles myself, last time I tried was about 2006, but
i didn't even know how to load extensions very well.

Cheers,
João
