Another Icelander here. Agree with your comment, I like it and I believe it does a good job of binding the soil with the added benefit of being fucking gorgeous when blooming.
I believe that the main fear (which I don't agree with, but I haven't done ANY research) is that it will suffocate some of the local fauna, which are these tiny artic plants.
So where there is only sand this isn't a problem but the lupine is quite an aggressive grower and the fear is that it starts growing where the native plants are doing OK and then steals their very limited resources.
