Prompting Claude to make SVGs then dropping them into Inkscape and getting the last ~20% of it to match the picture in my head has been a phenomenal user experience for me. This, too, piques my curiosity..!

Claide doesn't work at all for me when generating SVGs

It depends for me on if there is an existing SVG that exists in its training set.

“Make an SVG of a clock icon” is likely to work. “Make an SVG of a playground swingset with the sun setting” is not.

Your prompt verbatim turned out quite well, single-shot.

I poked around with NeoSVG a few months back. I was not happy with the results, the computation time, or the cost. That being said, I do hope they've made big progress lately because SVGs work real nice when you have an LLM and human working in tandem (as per the comment above).
