What about making the upgrade to Smiths gloves (i) from kovacs shop for a viable option without going for ice Queen kill. Like a buyable upgrade kit or just ice gloves for a buyable option?
Yes and for them worried about Heroes quest being changed too much, could make the upgrade be different from original ice gloves, for example salve amulet has different upgrades available. Doesnt have to have an effect for rfd/heroes but make it have an effect on skilling. Same goes with the dragon pickaxe. Only skilling activity that has it is requiring combat.

I think this is the most compelling option but I still feel that ice gloves need to remain a unique reward from the heroes quest. I think this dilemma already has workarounds since you don't have to complete the quest at all to defeat the boss and I think that challenge for a skiller is still part of the fun (it's definitely doable for a skiller btw
)
