Comment:

 @audrasjb I don't think this needs a Core patch.

 Plugin icons in wp-admin are pulled from `plugins_api`, where the
 recommended size is 256×256 px, and smaller variants (128×128, 64×64) are
 generated automatically. SVG is also supported. (Ref: Plugin Icons
 documentation[https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2014/08/21/plugin-
 icons/]). These aren't "too big" and Core already handles appropriate
 sizing.

 The only time a broken image is seen in wp-admin is when the request fails
 due to a local network issue (e.g. connectivity problems, firewall, ad-
 blocker, antivirus). In those cases, Core can't fix the root problem by
 replacing the broken image with a local placeholder would only mask a
 temporary connectivity issue.
