Bootloader is for defence against Evil Maid, and Afaik, ICE is just gonna snatch you, not do a “Evil Maid” attack, so just get it rebooted before you get taken and they shouldn’t even be able to decrypt it since its BFU. (You’ll need a long password/passphrase tho since PIN Limits can be bypassed because bootloader is unlocked)
Edit: Also reboot your phone before going to sleep in case you get raided midnight.
The core problem isnt nation state actors. Could just be your local police department searching your phone with tools built by those nation-state actors. Cellebrite documentation gets leaked from time to time, and iOS is safe if it’s off and gos is safe with default settings, everything else is breakable.
And that is local podunk cop who just takes a interest hooking up your phone to a cracking tool…
Now every police contact becomes a opportunity to leak all of your digital life
it is not secure for modern threat models… even of basic normie. unlocked bootloader with ice around is unacceptable.

Can you explain why? Does your threat model involve nation state actors compromising your phone physically?
