Have you seen this video?
Do Ice Cubes in the RV Black Tank Really Work?

It's just a test, using mock-up tank and analog waste so it's certainly not a complete answer, but I think it does give thoughts to consider.
In my thinking it would likely scrub the bottom a bit, but not so much the side walls.
Maybe if it was repeated with a few inches of water so the ice floats above teh bottom
then again with more water so it floats higher
and again higher still
....if the goal is to scrub the side walls and tank sensors
