Thanks! However, I assume that the ICC conversion is done in this case using 8-bits precision, right?

I would like to take advantage of the fact that G’MIC handles floating-point precision, by doing the ICC 
conversion before the conversion to 8-bits…

I see… G’MIC is already adapted to high bit depth and 2.9 API, so I think it is worth adding proper color 
management.
