kitbash?
It is to be expected that if you are indexing a "shed load" of text, you're
asking a lot of the index. I find myself wondering though whether the "73%
completion" is real and how the maths is done...

That should not be an issue, assuming they have a Mime type of "image/svg+xml".
You can see what Baloo has indexed for a file with:
balooshow -x "one-of-your-images.svg"
This, of course, may be balooshow6 for your chosen system...

I think that's what Baloo thinks it ought to do - index the text files (and
anything else it can extract the "plain text" from).
You can exclude folders from the indexing or turn off "content indexing" if you
just was to index filenames (and tags)
If you have very specific file types that are not really text but give a
'text/plain' when you ask for the MIME type you could exclude the files "by
extension" or, for serious magicians, creating or overriding a Mime type
description. See what kmimetypefinder says about some of your "kitbash" files..
