Sorry, it doesn't look like a 'mini.icons' issue. Doing a plain require('mini.icons).setup() followed by MiniIcons.mock_nvim_web_devicons() explicitly before loading 'nvim-tree/nvim-tree' should make it work consistently. Supporting manual (and kind of tricky) lazy loading is out of scope for 'mini.icons'.
