The usefulness of this card seems to hinge on whether you're running Trick of Light in the same deck. While it can be nice to save a click and a credit on advancing a piece of ice, that token will not actually be there for the purpose of Trick of Light (or Constellation Protocol for that matter). If you're running something like the aforementioned Tyrant and Woodcutter, this might be worth the deck slot -- but often it sadly does not make the cut.
Even if you are running Trick of Light, it's still nice for your #Ice Wall to have 4 strength instead of 3 until you're ready to take the counters off it (and then once you do, it'll have 2 strength instead of 1).
