Is it possible to save multiple files as optimized SVGs at once?
You could install the optimizer Inkscape uses internally and process your files with a super simple shell script. When reading the inkscape command line help, it does not seem to offer any option to export optimized SVGs from there

Convert pdf to optimized SVG from command line [Help]
Inkscape uses Scour under the hood for optimized SVG export.

Batch convert svg icons into a symbol set?
First make sure all your icons are saved as 'Optimized SVG' to remove Inkscape specific data and unnecessary id-attributes. Inkscape uses 'Scour' for this under the hood, so you can just use that directly to convert your files from the command line. I recommend the options --strip-xml-prolog --remove-metadata --enable-id-stripping --renderer-workaround. Now you only need to replace the outermost ... with ... for each file and remove all attributes on it, except width, height viewBox and preserveAspectRatio. Since we've stripped the XML-declaration with Scour, simply concatenate all files, wrap the result in a new element and lastly give your symbols unique ids and make sure all remaining referenced ids are unique between symbols.

Open Source Favicon Generation & Optimisation in 2022
The script optimised the SVG using Scour. This removes some metadata and also shortens IDs as well as strip out comments. For the PNG files we used OptiPNG on the maximum optimisation setting. This can be slow on larger files, but for favicons should not take long. Here’s the before and after comparison of files sizes for a particular favicon, using the script:

Where to start?
I also recommend Inkscape, it also has scour built-in to it. When saving a SVG select the option "optimized SVG" which will give you options to pass to scour to lower the amount of markup there is. You can then do some hand editing after this to further remove any markup you don't want.
