Nova launcher was sadly bought last year by a Chinese data harvesting company. If you care about your digital privacy you should switch to something else.
Honestly I’m not sure. When they were first bought I switched briefly to one called OpenLauncher on fdroid. It’s good and similar but not actively being developed. I recently switched phones (to a Fairphone 4) and since have just been using the stock launcher that came with my phone though.
There’s a fantastic app called Shortcut Maker, with which you can easily change any app icon.
I don’t think the Jerboa icon is very attractive myself. So I just took a lovely picture from my phone’s gallery. Looks much better now!
Apart from that I love Jerboa a lot. Especially the purple theme is a dream.
Built in to Nova Launcher too. But I just put the app in a circle and I’m happy.

God dammit, anything with decent feature parity?

I dumped Nova for Lawnchair. It’s not as actively developed as Nova was, but it’s a decent replacement.
Revert to v6.2.19 and disable auto update - still works great on Android 13/One UI 5.1.
