will this fly?

Once(!) is right.
Will your insurance company buy you a replacement SR-22 after you pop =
that chute?
Especially if you had to use it because of ice?

Yes, in that they would pay the agreed value for the plane if it were, as I
assume it would be, totalled. But I wouldn't expect to be covered by them
or anyone else in a replacement.
