To prove your point, you may want to provide a sample list of devices that
work that way, along with the benchmarks showing that those devices could
still handle arbitrary junk ICMP packets at a line rate.

NB: Cloudflare is basically busy filtering excessive amounts of spoofed
ICMP packets containing whatever parameters and payload criminals could fit
into, at virtually no cost for a customer. Your list might become somewhat
short then.
