This issue still persists. Here is my describe

branch: master
commit: b4fb941957ea68a5e708525a8bebeacdc3d70959
And Papirus has 112035 inodes
112035 /gnu/store/ancyil1arc8c9bkf3izp66a7n9wyq3a9-papirus-icon-theme-20230104
With nearly 1.5 million in each profile. Just uninstalling and reinstalling it twice moved my inode usage from 49% to 73%

It
is worth noting that Papirus is not alone in making too many inodes per
profile, it is just the most noticeable given how huge it is. Breeze
will saturate one's inodes after a about 200 generations.

And maybe others.
