I was wondering what kind of unique perspective you would have here, and I

It means that rational operators MUST filter some ICMP
and, not surprisingly, some operators will block all
ICMP or all packet too big ICMPs

That is more or less ok as long as they don't send any packets larger than 1280 
bytes.

If you want to send 1281-byte packets you MUST use PMTUD and thus you MUST 
accept incoming packet too big messages.
