The wing AI is such a half-hearted system (outboard 3 slat sections) anyway I can't think why it would be so urgently needed for takeoff. Heating up your Type II/IV fluid is counter-productive. If inflight icing is expected to be so severe that 30 seconds of impact icing protection is significant to the safety of the operation - go back to bed.
