Mammoth Electronics responded to me after I pestered them about being an amateur student who is clueless on electronics. They also responded to a number of my concerns including the fact that I can swap the diodes for an asymmetrical approach and explained that my ICU chip should be fine being soldered directly to my board (even though I was reprimanded heavily and spanked for doing so). Apparently you really have to solder on an IC for a long time to mess it up, and they are pretty tough. The rep told me that he's soldered hundreds of ICs directly to the board without incident.
