Iceheart still needed crystals, we can assume prayer, and some method of summoning the primal essence onto herself. As said earlier, a primal needs to willingly temper individuals, but the aether drain is a constant force.
person opinion: I think having a living body as a base might lessen the amount of aether needed/drained, but it shouldn't negate it. A primal is, by definition, still going to be draining aether by existing in the physical plane.
The problem is; Iceheart calls upon Shiva's powers, while Memenu literally uses the soulless body as her own living body. Obviously the body's going to need sustenence somehow; eating, drinking, sleeping, etc.
As good as these questions are, I'm not versed enough in the lore to actually have, what I believe, is a reasonable opinion, and I'm actually starting to run out of possibilities on how this could work because of how good these questions are, lol.
-edit-
I apparently don't know how to use quotes. Fixed.
