IceCube now provides skymaps of their high-energy neutrino alerts in a similar format to GW skymaps in their GCN Notices Kafka stream (see the schema here: GCN - Documentation - Schema Browser - v6.1.1 - gcn/notices/icecube/single_neutrino_alerts).
Would it be possible to automatically ingest these skymaps as well?

In principle yes. We can do GW skymaps so these are similar. Problems:
- I personally do not know enough about the science, especially timescales, to justify prioritising this.
- IceCube detections are northern hemisphere (passed through the Earth) but Rubin is southern hemisphere
