  • Doesn’t work with non-square icons.
  • Doesn’t align with multi-line text (text wraps to underneath icon).
  • Only aligns centered (no baseline).

But that’s pretty good for most cases.

Ahh, yeah that's a bit harder, CSS multiline stuff is pretty flaky from what I can recall. You need to drop down to block layout, e.g. making the containing element a flex parent (Better term than that?) and then making the icon centered within that can work, but then we're back to square one with sizing the icon.
