I would envision using the raw support primarily for ICMP6. Ie diganostics (ping/traceroute) and router messages (Packet to big, ICMP Redirect, etc). Not to offset IPoIB as a high performance solution. In this role the reduced MTU that you get because of CRC-16's limited protection shouldn't be a big problem.
