There is very little benefit in ANY situation for shifting into neutral, regardless of transmission type.
And of all possibilities, black ice is the absolute LAST situation I would ever use neutral for. Lower your speed if you know ice may be present, use lower gears, and stay alert. Neutral would take away your ability to steer out of a skid upon regaining traction with the road surface.
