But surely dropping ICMP priority when busy is exactly what devices should do? ICMP is low priority traffic (compared to TCP/UDP) so can be delayed or even dropped when things get busy.

Juniper does lower ICMP priority and even lower pinging the device itself. I believe Cisco can behave the same way.
