Comment (by jameskoster):

 > It also seems to be the direction you had previously supported.

 A lot happens in two years :D Specifically; the Site Editor is now more
 established, and the Customizer fading a bit further into the background.
 Visually aligning with the former seems a more 'future-proof' strategy,
 especially given the ongoing admin design work
 ([https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/12/admin-design/]).

 So I would still advocate for that direction, and suggest adding richer,
 more comprehensive previews to the site icon documentation
 ([https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/create-a-favicon/]).

 If we wanted to include the larger, rounded 'home icon' preview too, I'd
 be tempted to apply a stronger visual treatment to better distinguish the
 preview from the rest of the UI. But this feels over-emphasised to me.
