I've seen all sorts of nonsense with respect to this. Rayleigh specifically mentioned this. It's the ONLY method of countering DFs, unless you take advantage of their individual weakness.
That attack was super strong. It stopped Doffy killing Smoker in an instant, and the AoE was massive. It's not a superficial layer of ice.
If Doffy could casually break out of it, it would have never stopped him in the first place.
I just find it hard to believe this is not Haki, especially knowing what we know
(1) Rubber doesn't bleed
(2) Lucci had Haki "related to Rokushiki"

Yet Luffy doesnt notice it when fighting him nor remember him as one of the users
