If people today had the chance to revive a frozen person (or animal) from the past, they surely would not hesitate to give it a try.

Going the opposite direction, poor icecube man might be revived only to die almost immediately due to measles or something similar. Assuming that "able to cure all diseases" must come before "defrost cycle" on the civilization tech tree is not a good assumption because there seems to be no obvious technological link other than both being kinda difficult. Being defrosted, assuming it actually works perfectly, probably means spending some time (maybe rest of life) in a biohazard lab. Or worse, yet maybe more likely, getting defrosted to live in a bioweapon lab.
