Do you have a FOM (or GOM) that specifies the types of winter ops authorized in that aircraft?

Without such guidance I have to agree with you. Anti-ice fluid (IV) is a Newtonian fluid that is designed to flow off during the takeoff roll, leaving a clean wing by around 100KIAS. At that point the aircraft's anti-icing system is expected to take over, if needed. If such a system is incapable of handling the anti-ice load then I would say don't fly into it.

Edit: I asked a friend who flew the 328JET and he was under the impression the jet version has bleed air anti-ice and not boots. Is the AFM you reference for both versions or just the jet?
