I had the same problem: empty gnumeric toolbars.
And I fixed it as follows:

jessie, at least for me.

Gnumeric launched and a new spreadsheet was automatically created,
but eventhough the toolbars are visible and the tooltips can be seen
when passing the mouse over them, the icons are not displayed.
I am not sure whether it started with jessie for me (and a friend too),
but it did start with some debian update, and stayed this way including
the last update to Trixie.
I also stumbled on the gnumeric issue you mentioned and the comment
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnumeric/-/issues/550#note_1319210>
“This was due a broken helper changing the gsettings values.” made me think.
So I created a brand-new test user and started gnumeric, and all the
toolbar icons were there and everything was fine. So it had to be some
bad settings for my user (as my home directory and personal configs
stayed – even when I bought new hardware and did a fresh install).
So I did a “dconf dump” from my personal account and from the test user
and stepped through the diff.
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface toolbar-detachable
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface toolbar-icons-size
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface toolbar-style
did the trick for me (I am not sure if all three are needed).
I know the issue is old but I wanted to document this for everyone still
affected by this.
