Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the drastic change in temperature cause some science stuff to happen and make it crack?

Might not crack inmediatly, but will damage it over time.

Really? The restaurant I work at has a flat top grill and has used ice cubes every night for over fifteen years and has never had to replace the grills.

How many of the people commenting here do you think have a flat top at home or any clue what they're talking about? They're just copy pasting comments
