The super cooled stuff becomes a problem with small pasageways (probes) and small continuous sheds just big enough to bend the small compressor blade tips (sensitive internal areas of the engine).

The stuff on the wings (if it even sticks) is expected to shed (under air loads alone) often enough to not affect aerodynamics..
