I've heard it sung with guitar, drums, dancing and incense. Very powerful when all accompaniment ceased as all genuflected during the incarnatus and began joyously as all rose after "became man."

My recollection is that C of E parishes which adopted the Vat II reform of the liturgy (!) stopped singing the creed as part of that move. I don't think it was anything to do with personal preference or idiosyncratic clergy. On the contrary, it was only oddballs (and those who ignored the bigger picture) who continued to sing.

I completely agree with this - but find that many people don't get the point and get anxious about the Creed - and they bare pamndered to by an every-increasing set of options in Common Worship whereby you can replace the Nicene creed with little responsories.

The objection I hear most often (and I have some sympathy with it) it that by stating "We believe..." they are making a statement about the belief of others in the building saying it at the same time and that it may well be that they don't share all beliefs with others in the same church.

That's easily solved by going back to the first-person singular, as it was first introduced into the liturgy.
