I definitely agree with your evaluation of the Icelandair FF program. They changed it 2 years ago, and really reduced the points earned on coach fares.
Quite honestly there is no value in being a FF on Icelandair. If you need to use them, fine. But if you have a FF program in place with any other carrier, use that carrier and not FI.
If you do have points with Icelandair, the best use is to trade them for something worthwhile on points.com.
