I understand there are arguments for using IPs, but after this experience, the ImplicitParams extension is a "code smell" for me.

It's not just you. Implicit parameters are a scourge on the language. I think there are also some subtle annoyances with how they make apparently 'safe' program rearrangements unsafe, by pushing around "let ?foo = bar in ..." bindings.
