Plasma - what controls tray icon layout / how to force center entries vertically (horizontal panel) ?
not an easy topic, because each application has its own icon and not all of them respect aspect ratio, the best thing in this case is to use hardcode-tray which replaces third party app icons with properly spaced icons, the only problem is that not all third party apps use an icon stored somewhere, unfortunately for those you have to change the source and recompile

Changing icons.... no not those icons.
You are looking for Hardcode-Tray , it can replace icons using ones from icon themes. Sadly enough, not all applications can be "fixed", but the one you mention (discord) can :).

how could i change the show applications button? I want it to match the rest of my icons.
it seems that GNOME doesn't support the tray since 3.26. You can find out more here. I believe that this link also takes you to a project called Hardcode-Tray, which they describe above. I suggest you give it a read.

change system tray icons for apps
Instead of trying to figure out the icon paths and replacing them manually you can use this https://github.com/bilelmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray, it can pull icons from regular icon themes, unfortunately, it only supports a short list of popular apps currently and some can't be fixed (like zoom) and is up to the program developers to fix/support that.

How to theme Tray icons properly?
This can fix a lot of icons. Last time I installed it from aur, it couldn't fix some of the icons. Compiling from source fixed the issue though.
-
Which theme looks better?
I'd say it not so hard to keep icons intact. How many tray apps do you have? Five? Maybe ten? You can write a script using HardcodeTray to override the icons for every app in the list. And if you like zero click solution, you can make a hook for your package manager to overwrite the hardcoded icons on updates. The only thing that's left is to keep overrides list up to date. Doesn't take that much of an effort to do so.

A home-manger activation script for replacing the blurry Discord desktop app tray icons
As mentioned above, the Discord desktop app uses some hardcoded 24x24 tray icons which look horrible at any sane screen resolution. Things like Hardcode-Tray exist, but don't work out of the box with NixOS as far as I can tell, so I made a home-manager activation script for it. It's not perfect by any means, but it seems to work well enough.

Change the top bar app icons
Switching to a different theme(like papirus) might help, there is also hardcode tray fix for it, though it might be overkill.

Changing icons in system tray and tasklist
As for the system tray, it's a little bit harder than that. If you are lucky, your app may have settings to configure tray icon (e.g. pidgin). In some cases icon is compiled into a binary. If you still want to change a tray icon there is a solution that modifies a binary. The drawback is that modification will be rolled back on package update. The best way is to combine your overrides into a script and run it after update.

Changing icons in system tray and tasklist
Awesome uses _NET_WM_ICON property of an X client to get an icon (look for client.icon), but for the tasklist it is possible to override the icon with one you define yourself. There are different approaches, but if you are looking for third party module u/kolo1337 has one here.

Having trouble changing icon theme
I asked the same question on this sub about a month ago. Here's the thread. Basically, the client applications themselves determine what icon they use, not Awesome. Some apps always use the icon from your GTK icon theme while others do not. u/kolo1337 wrote a module for manually setting the icon for specific clients. I've been using it and it works well.
