Comment (by h71):

 Here's my take:

 It makes sense to handle the 'Site Icon' and 'Site Title' in the same way.
 So, adding a way to upload the 'Site Icon' in the main settings could be a
 good move.

 The settings page isn't as visually focused as the customizer, so we don't
 really need a preview. A simpler solution (considering the implementation
 complexity) could be to add a file upload button on the settings page,
 allow for cropping, save the settings, and then check how it looks in the
 web browser.

 On the other hand, this is the first setting that involves media, images,
 or uploads. I'm not entirely sure if a basic file upload button will be
 suitable if there will be more similar options in the future.
