I've tended to look at Gnome desktop themes for this sort of thing in 
the past, e.g.

https://github.com/vinceliuice/emerald-icon-theme

1-3) it's under a Creative Commons license (specifically, CC BY-SA 4.0)
4) they're SVGs, with variants aimed at 16/32/64 pixel size
5) About 500 mimemtypes look to be handled in 
https://github.com/vinceliuice/emerald-icon-theme/tree/master/Emerald/mimetypes/16 
, with 140 distinct icons (some entries in the list are symlinks)
6) I think they look fine, but that's a matter of personal preference :)
