I am no programmer, but the following might be useful nevertheless:

ICU is used for

1) transliteration - if you do not have the feature, you probably do not
need it

2) Search input normalisation - you probably want that

3) rendering of complex scripts - you definitely want that.

Also I remember when Xiphos team wanted to reduce the size of the
distributed Windows binary (which needed to carry along a lot of stuff
which is normal on Linux) they used a tool called strip which removed
all not relevant stuff and deflated the final release by several (many)
megabytes.
