Colour coded icons

I have to disagree with this wholeheartedly. The whole point of this is that you don’t choose from lineart-lineart-lineart but different 2 colored shapes which have different proportions compared to each other.
Your brain can remember those shapes better because of the bigger flat surfaces. There are actual surfaces to remember.

Well, different strokes for different folks I guess. This type of coloring doesn’t do much for me and I tried it a while back:

I would much prefer coloring individual icons and no, I don’t care if it looks like “christmas lights”

So I’m patiently waiting for the patch.

Recoloring them to one color gives no advantage - only the disadvantage of lessening contrast against the BG color

Well if you put them in a box like that then sure. But if your UI i monochrome and the text is white, making the icons different color can help them to stand out:
