Is it safe to link libicui18n.so.66 to libicui18n.so.63?

Safe, yes. Correct, no.
No system app should use the so.63 library anymore, so your system and main apps will not have problems.
Some of the broken packages will stay broken, some might work. There is a reason the library version soname went from so.63 to so.66, it is not compatible.

Looking at the list of packages, there are system packages depending on old ICU. That means your upgrade didn’t finish correctly. You need to check the posts here with similar questions, there will be answers on how to fix a half-upgraded system.

Ive been trying to recover my system for days already … w/o success so far. Do you have a better idea?
