...in other words..is possible ice-mode a permanent fixture of the car, and can/possibly happen, regardless of what mode/setting or what you deactivate on the car?
If ABS is active, ice mode is possible. Think of this system as layered:

VSC/TC
EBD
ABS
Hardware (your actual brakes)

Each time you go up a layer, it builds on what the layer(s) below offer - Stability control works because EBD can modulate brake power individually to each wheel, and EBD can do that because there's an ABS system that can tell EBD if it brakes too hard on a wheel.

Pushing the traction control button for five seconds disables the top layer.

Pedal dance disables the top two layers.
