I think it would be cool to have Iconian Tech available in the game. Space & ground weapons. especially that ground energy weapon that looks like a staff stick and the iconian gateway firing that huge beam. How about it cryptic? sometime in the future???

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
I strongly suspect you are correct. Proof? Undine lockbox.
Also isn't the MU in the upcoming season supposed to be using mirror iconian super tech? And isn't there going to be an MU reputation too?
Thanks to your suspect, I was able to suspect the same thing as well (I was unable to suspect anything for a time)!!
Maybe in one or two millennia when the iconians break their self imposed isolation.

I agree they would not share willingly. That said, I do have to wonder given the number of scuttled Herald ships, or dead Herald troops that left their staves behind, what we might manage to salvage/steal or reverse-engineer.

On topic, I'd be happy never seeing Iconian tech in player hands, if only for the radically different aesthetic most of it has. It was okay when it was on a mysterious species separated from Milky Way powers for 200,000 years, but seeing it pop up all over might be an immersion breaker.
Personally, I want Iconian stuff (love the Iconians, so glad with the decisions made with them, such as being a limited number, all female race). However, I also don't want it, as it would seem sort of out of place. Doing it Borg style may be best, a limited number of ground weapons and possibly a few space items (such as a Lobi Set) as these could realistically have been salvaged, even though Iconian tech does tend to self-destruct most of the time.
If you want immersion, just ignore every single other player (unless you are on a team *aka Taskforce*), because for story purposes, there is just one "Captain" (AKA Player Character), yours. While I haven't quite figured it out, but there are 3 Player Characters story wise first off, but the 2 you are not (E.g. If you are Rom, the KDF and Fed die) die off at some point in the story.
This game has long jumped the shark on playable ship limitations.
Nothing stands in the way of a new Lockbox.

NOOOO!!!!!!!
People were complaining enough about fighting Space Wizards in a Star Trek game, the Devs decided to let us BE the Space Wizards, too?
Ugh. On the one hand, I kinda agree, so yuck. On the other hand, I'll likely not say much more on the subject, but we'll all have to listen to the crying in the forums about it until the next lock box comes out.
I must say, I thought this would never happen, much for the same reason we don't have playable Borg ships: CBS said no 'cuz they're The Big Bad. Guess 5 seasons of buildup isn't Big Bad enough?
Borg/Cooperative is also likely. If people want it in this game, it'll be in a lock box/promotion eventually.
While I don't know that I'd want any weapons (or could afford them), I will be watching to see what if any clothing options come with it. Who knows what I could do, depending on the costume pieces offered...

The ships would be nice though i hope with more veriety than normal lobi/lockbox ships get. Myself i would love if they would add some ship part type packs to the older lockboxes to give more options an uniqueness to the ships, though even jus adding such packs to the lobi store would be nice to keep people that want more options in looks of thier ship an option to get that with the lobi/ockbox ships. Also can we get some of the Iconian/Herald character/race designs added to the character creator, like the multiple eye option maybe with several eye layouts, skin, face textures. nose looks, and such. This would make alot more options an make alot of us that love creating our race happy.
And yes, in all probability it is coming. As far as what exactly will be available? Not sure.
