Comment (by stacimc):

 > Creating a way to edit a site's icon _without_ the customizer or the
 site editor is the preferred solution for now, and the foreseeable future.

 I agree with @shaunandrews. The flow to set the Icon through the Site Logo
 block is not sufficient. The block only has an option to sync the Icon
 with the Logo. At the moment I have help text which links the user to the
 customizer (for now) to further edit the icon.

 The logic to sync the logo and icon from the block is non-trivial, so if
 there's interest in moving that PR forward as part of this issue I'd love
 to get some more eyes on it:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35892

 That complexity is maybe another reason to +1 adding an option
 elsewhere/temporarily involving the customizer.
