We've made some good strides with this between 2.16.0 and 2.17.0. Still a fair bit to go though. Here's the current list of icons used more than five times, this time including the preset IDs.

Recent win: icons to help mappers differentiate place=islet
from place=island
(the latter is bigger).
Update on this as we close in on 2.17.1:
Update on the icon list with some slight changes…
How can icons be added? 🙈
Unknown highway=
is probably fine without icon, right?
Oh wait, that is covered by https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/issues/41#issuecomment-591600779
@quincylvania Do you have somewhere script used to list objects sharing the same icon? It seems that https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/issues/41#issuecomment-591600779 is fortunately a bit outdated now.
The v3 UI relies heavily on preset icons and works best when all icons are differentiable. Because of this, we should find or design new icons for presets where the icon is reused wherever possible.
Note that it's sometimes okay to use the same icon file when the presets are differentiated by other things like color or border.
Below is a list of the most-used icon names and the number of presets that use them.
