That is really cool!

Two remarks. First, it may not be too critical, but I would avoid
putting the password as part of the ID; you don't need it thanks to
the UUID component. Second, but you probably noticed that already,
some characters will have a special treatment ("." become "(dot)" and
spaces are not translated, resulting in unusable IDs...).

Even when restart=false, the icecast output attempts to reconnect in a
few cases. Those should be very limited, but you may have found a bug
here -- this wouldn't be a big surprise, this code was written before
dynamic outputs were possible. We need to look more into that. Filing
a bug would be a good way to make sure we don't forget.
I don't have an advice for best practice. Since the status doesn't
distinguish "retrying" for "connected" ("on" just means that the
polling+feeding thread is active) it makes sense to disable restart
and handle things from s4shout.
Cheers,
David
