So, to sum up, what's the latest opinion on ICG and ancients?

Here's my opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it. Grading ancients
by the Sheldon scale is a joke to begin with. That said, ICG's grade is
probably no less jokeworthy than anyone else's. I think ICG does a good
job authenticating ancients, and I would definitely trust that an
ancient purchased in an ICG slab is either genuine; or if it is fake,
ICG will make good by it. As far as attribution, I have no idea.
