I think it's simpler to not involve ICE if you just want rigid bodies with momentum (just simulation I mean).
Recently though I used a setup which was non-simulated, cracking geo with implosia and then using emtools of some variety (I think from a mootzoid video) - creating a pointcloud from polygon islands, manipulating the pointcloud, and then that drives another copy of the original mesh, worked well! Lots of control.
