I went with this approach.
See the attached tentative patch.

CCing Jack - you expressed interest in ox-icalendar in the past.

P.S. We need a maintainer for ox-icalendar ;)

Subject: [PATCH] ox-icalendar: Add support for multi-line SUMMARY, LOCATION,
 and DESCRIPTION

* lisp/ox-icalendar.el (org-icalendar-entry): Use `org-entry-get' to
account for both PROP and PROP+ in SUMMARY, LOCATION, and DESCRIPTION
properties.  Use newline as accumulated value separator.
* etc/ORG-NEWS (iCalendar export now supports multiline =SUMMARY=,
=LOCATION=, and =DESCRIPTION= properties): Announce the breaking
change.

 * Version 9.7 (not released yet)
 ** Important announcements and breaking changes
+*** iCalendar export now supports multiline =SUMMARY=, =LOCATION=, and =DESCRIPTION= properties
+
+Previously, it was not possible to specify multi-line location,
+summary, or description when exporting to iCalendar.
+
+In the following example, =LOCATION= was exported as "Someplace",
+ignoring the other lines.
+
+#+begin_src org
+,* heading with multi-line property
+:PROPERTIES:
+:LOCATION: Someplace
+:LOCATION+: Some Street 5
+:LOCATION+: 12345 Small Town
+:END:
+#+end_src
+
+Now, =SUMMARY+=, =LOCATION+=, and =DESCRIPTION+= properties can be
+used to create multi-line values.
+
+In the above example, =LOCATION= is now exported as
+
+: Someplace
+: Some Street 5
+: 12345 Small Town
+
 *** ~org-agenda-search-headline-for-time~ now ignores all the timestamp in headings
 
 Previously, ~org-agenda-search-headline-for-time~ made Org agenda
