curious as to if this could be anything other then a Thermostat problem?
Thats kind of what I thought but now that I see the ice all over the unit it made me wonder if they accidentally knocked something loose while they were up there last time. This wasn’t an issue until they did the work. Just very suspicious timing but like I said, IDK enough about these units to do anything other than connect dots that may or may not make any sense.

If the condenser unit is running well past the set point and the air handler is not, it will cause the lines to freeze up. This is a common problem caused by the contactor on the condenser unit sticking and therefor continuing to circulate refrigerant without air being pushed through the evaporator coil. Contactors wear out frequently (my 4 year old Goodman unit had one fail a couple weeks ago) but they are cheap and easy to change.
It's entirely possible this is what happened and your condenser kept running, froze the lines and coils to the point of rupturing. Coils for some brands are nearly impossible to get right now due to supply chain issues, which may be why they are telling you an entirely new unit is your only option.
