The copy icon is not intended as a replacement for copying via text selection. It doesn't copy all text of the element - it copies only the "value", not the "key". Adding a copy icon to every text in the panel is somewhat antithetical to this, and unusual in a dashboard UI. It may also be annoying, because the icon only appears on hover, which can make text get re-arranged and create a visual disturbance. That's actually an unresolved bug.
I'd suggest a new element option that allows developers to opt-in to show a copy icon. It really depends on what a table or text field is being used for and whether a copy icon adds value to the UX or degrades it.
@404-html would that be a suitable solution for you?
