Hi Jesse,
> 1) is 3dLME the right choice for this, or is 3dMVM just as good?
For this specific case of yours, both programs would be able to handle it. However, 3dLME is a little more flexible. Specifically, 3dMVM would model most of the interactions even though you might not be interested in some of them.

It looks like that both quantitative variables do not vary within subject. So the correct random effect specification is
-ranEff '~1' \
The GLT coding seems fine.
> 3) does the combined 3dICC_REML + LME approach sounds statistically legit?
When you compute ICC, I assume that you would not set 'time' as fixed effect in 3dICC_REML.
