Вопрос: Как перекрасить иконку через svg > use?

Лучший ответ:
Видимо, fill или stroke уже указаны в коде самой иконки и переопределяют стили, которые указываете вы. Эти атрибуты из кода иконки надо убрать перед сборкой в спрайт (вручную или инструметами типа svgo). Можно также заменить значение этих атрибутов на currentColor и затем в css для иконки указывать свойсто color, которому будет соответствовать значение currentColor.

Худший ответ:
Иконка хреновая.
Ее стоило обработать в люстре, это занимает пару минут.snippetкод иконки<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512">
