You have had some good advice from the forum.
I would just reinforce the view that the risk of carb ice is quite type/engine specific, for example a C150 with a RR/Continental 0-200 would be rated as being prone to carb icing, whereas a Pup with the same engine would likely be said to be less so.
The best course of action is to talk through your concerns with an instructor who has spent many hours in the combination that you are flying.
As to your actions, as they say prevention is much better than the cure.
I think that you have passed your PPL recently and are learning about flying - your cautious approach is entirely sensible and appropriate.
