Hey, sorry, just realized I never replied to this. On prefs.page, I
decided to just go with the tiles without icons. I think it looks ok.
Not great, but ok.

There's no extra repository of tile images. All of them are just the
symbolic icons from Adwaita, recolored and tweaked for this look.

This will probably all change. I want to try out using the kind of
image-on-top card look you see all over the internet, including on the
GNOME 40 page. That will take some work in creating nice thunbnail
images. It would be good to have a couple stock thumbs that can be used
on random extra card links.

Anyway, all of this is to say, don't spend a lot of your time chasing
this look.

And if anybody out there is good at graphic design and CSS, I'm trying
to revamp the help style when time permits, but I could use extra
brains on the work.
