Investigate whether this would be beneficial and how we can easily implement this without too much refactoring.

How much will this change the bundle size?
Is there any way we can convert SVGs used in stylesheets to base64 strings when bundling?
Does the output changes justify the refactoring time and effort?

React SVGR already uses SVGO to minimise SVGs before compiling to a component. Very likely there is little further optimisation we can do.
