I had the same issue and was able to get overlay icons back using by doing this:
- Completely uninstall Dropbox. I used Clean My Mac but you can do it manually using these instructions https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/41 Do everything in the 'For Advanced users' section.
- Do not move Dropbox folder to the trash
- Download and install latest version of Dropbox
- Re-login to Dropbox and if you had only certain folders selected to sync redo your Selective Sync settings.
- Save settings
- Relaunch Finder Option+Right Click Finder icon in Dock > Relaunch
Hope that helps.

Hi Roberto!
I can confirm that this solved the issue - I had to disable the system integrity protection (csrutil disable) and after a reboot it was necessary to fix the permissions (as explained from you above).
Since I did not like the csrutil to remain turned off I rebooted the machine again and re-enabled it.
Thank you!
Albert
Edit: it started to work again - even after the csrutil enable command (it took some time after reboot) I see the finder integration working as normal!!!
