I have only recently started making SMBC, so not exceptionally experienced.  Although it gets very firm in the refrigerator, it doesn't crust like ABC.  If it is hot, I would elect to go with ABC made with shortening.

Smbc doesn’t really crust and will eventually get a little firm after 48 hours. If you want a good alternative to smbc, without all the work, try cooked flour icing. It’s my go too icing.Tastes just as good as smbc. I do add a cup of icing sugar and some meringue powder. Personal preference. Helps icing crust and firm up faster. And pipe better. But not absolutely necessary.
