Short Static Rope for Glacier Travel?

A static will be fine. This is fine advice. Your main trade-off is making sure you can ascend the thinner line. If you are roped up and walking correctly, there should be little to no shock load. The vast majority of crevasse falls can be held standing up, leaning slightly away from the pull. Jumping on your axe and getting dragged is a very unlikely scenario. At angles greater than self arrest, with belay and intermediate anchors, you'll probably want a dynamic.
