What about providing a newer ICU version as kind of an "add-on" download containing only the needed DLLs (assuming it's as easy as only replacing the DLLs)?

Then everyone who wishes to use a newer ICU version can manually install them.
If that download carries a big "ATTENTION: reindex required" I don't think this would be a big risk.
