> It makes the icons hard to edit, for example with tools like Inkscape

You don't edit them in Inkscape.

> For some erb templates it can also become a large amount

Because you don't edit them with Inkscape, they won't get unnecessarily large.

> it's not really possible to read the path and figure out what it shows or how to edit it

Yes it is possible. How do you think I made them? If you use Inkscape, then you'll get impossible to read paths.

> Is there another approach that we can use, that allows the SVGs to be inlined in the output, but kept as separate SVG files in the source code?

If the svgs are "binary" to you, they are not going to become less "binary" when moved out.
