When it comes to clever hypothetical changes to ICBMs, I remember one of the options floated late in the cold war was using a highly reflective coating that would hopefully ameliorate the effects of lasers (since we were taking interdiction with high-powered lasers more seriously then). I bring it up because I'm pretty sure it would be at cross purposes with a stealth coating. I bet that given sufficient satellite coverage and image processing, ICBMs might remain visible throughout most of their flight, making radar stealth a moot point. I hope the world will not go too far down the road of building out measures and countermeasures to update our nuclear weapons systems, but I think you'd have to add that possibility to the long list of possible countermeasures when doing your planning.
