So then you run into issues every time you floor your car in electric mode, as that will cause the ICE to kick in and make them work in tandem.

not every hybrid has a an electric/gas engine that can work in tandem (some do, but not a requirement0. On the Volt the gas engine wasn't attached to the wheels at all, it was just a generator for the battery.
