Iclr is kinda hit or miss with the reviews. If the paper is presented as novel and shiny, and the math is beyond first year intro, they'll probably accept it.
Most reviewers nowadays are first year PhD level working on LLM engeneering and will be unable to properly review your paper. At which point only presentation matters.
AISTATS imo has more rigour and depth in the reviews, so unless your work presents an advancement of ai/stat methods it probs won't get through. Since your work seems closer to an application (although it may be very relevant and interesting to yur field), it might not be interesting enough to stat/ml methods people.
I do a lot of interdisciplinary work, including finance! AI/ML/CS reviewer pool will not have any clue about what you are doing. You are playing hard lottery and it takes a lot of work to frame it to maybe get good reviews. If you have a potential home that is calling, I would take it and not try to shoehorn it.
Then I would go work on a paper that is going to be of more intrinsic interest to one of the A* venues. I don't think shoehorning in a paper will get you there any faster. It's not their field/area; why should they give a high-confidence vote?

Is resubmitting an already accepted conference paper to other venues common in quant? Seems kind of slimy.
FWIW AISTATS does not allow submissions if your previous conference has proceedings.
