Yup,
Having actually landed a 737 on one engine, I CHOSE to use full reverse knowing it was my choice, and could be reduced at any time. (20-25 knots crosswind)
Absolutely no directional control problems, not even a little bit, zilch, zero!
Of course an icy runway might be a tad different, but that's precisely why we have a choice. ( If you are landing on an "icy" runway on one engine then you are having a bad day)
It's called common sense, professionalism, airmanship, etc.
