For instance, the 3D box. According the guidelines, the projection has to be 1 point perspective. The current icon respects that and gives an idea of what to expect of the tool.
To me, it does not. It looks like this is a tool for drawing a rectangle with a trapezoid on top :)
The current icon set looks a tad childish. I showed inkscape to a lot of fellow designers and they always make comments about the look, but they are surprised by the excellent features. When I show them GIMP or Scribus they rant about missing features, not about the look. I really think that many people may be overlooking inkscape because it doesn't look "pro".
I really doubt that. Some of the icons deep inside are atrocious, yes, but the tool icons on the "front page" are perfectly OK. Thousands of people got used to them already, I really see no reason to change them now. They are in documentation, forums, screenshots, etc. etc. It will be a very disruptive change for no compelling reason at all.
Maybe we can reach a compromise - tangoify all icons except the tool icons?
