The wings on the F-5/T-38 are so thin that they do not do well with ANYTHING on them.
The J-85 engine does have de-icing on the IGV's (inlet guide vanes) so the engines should stay running. As well the old F-5/T-38 has more than enough power (even on single engine) to get out of the icing if needed.
