Perhaps it should be mandatory for icon themes to add the necessary file
triggers so that no package will ever need to have a scriptlet which
calls gtk-update-icon-cache.

In general I think that the distro as a whole should pivot towards
official, guideline-codified scriptlet avoidance, such that adding
appropriate file triggers should be mandatory where it avoids the need
for packages down the dependency chain to have scriptlets.  I'm sure
there are a number of places where this could be done.  Having this as a
distro-wide goal would make it easier to get changes like the glibc
ldconfig file triggers implemented (which took years to get the current
incomplete implementation pushed).

Ultimately the goal should be making the "traditional" scriptlets extinct to the point that using them requires an exception.

I've no illusions here, it's going to be a long long road and require further enhancements to rpm (for example dealing with users and groups) but that's what the long-term overall goal should be.
