To both conserve space and preserve minimalism, is there any way I can merely hide the default avatar icon?

If you're using GreaseMonkey or don't mind using a plugin you could just do

(function($){
    $('.ipsUserPhoto_large').each(function(index, value){
        if(value.src.indexOf('default_large.png') != -1)
        {
            value.style.display = 'none';
        }
    });
})(jQuery);

other than that I'm not sure if IPB supports it.

You could just use a 1px transparent .png.

two options. IPB no longer supports the lack of icons

I went ahead and made a chrome extension for this.

Tested on v22, source included in zip. To install open a new tab and navigate to chrome://extensions, take the file nerdforum.crx and drag and drop onto the extensions tab.

Source, with added comments:

var elems = document.getElementsByClassName('ipsUserPhoto_large');
var i = elems.length;
// loop through all the photos
while(i--)
{
    // is it the default icon?
	if(elems[i].src.indexOf('default_large.png') != -1)
	{
        // yes, hide it
		elems[i].style.display = 'none';
	}
}
