Its not a PROBLEM, but your going against traffic if you go during the summer. On a big weekend, there's a LOT of traffic.
As for time, I wouldn't expect to be through in under 6 to 7 hours of nonstop driving with little traffic. I would hope that you have a fairly cavalier attitude towards body damage, as there are going to be some narrow spot and drop offs.
With the right car, I would do it alone again in a heartbeat.

Either direction are fine. But I think it is easier to get back on the main road on Tahoe side for assistance. Ice house road is a long road with many sharp turns, no fun IF you vehicle came out with steering problems.... been there done that.

Even the most skilled 4x4 drivers in the world use spotters when they are needed. You shouldn't be embarrassed to ask for a spotter.
And, as far as wheeling being a group sport goes, it may not be. But repairing a broken down vehicle or going to find help often is.
