Similar issues came up a few months ago.
I did the same a few months ago and went through the option  and
documented the same in a post in a thread somewhere

Scenario 1: Mediaserver is assuming a "playable" item is a ready to go
URL.- this is not always true.  RadioNet is using a Favorite with a
saved "parser" - however this is no longer a commonly used method. LMS
has evolved and there are now alternatives.  Medaiserver would need to
be updated to use RadioNet V1.*

Scenario 2: The saving Favorite from a playing station - IIRC having
gone through LMS code, LMS saves the currently playing artwork as
supplied by the stream and not the artwork of the Favorite (or something
like this) . I feel it is a LMS minor "Bug". It could be "fixed" but
fixing it will only be available for 8.3 users and couldn't find the
time to do the change, full testing and pull-request especially as few
users have noticed this issue with other sources.

You missed scenario 3:
Scenario 3:  At lowest level of drilling menus - full URL and cover are
available but neither Classic nor Material has a "save as favorite"
option.

I created a V2.0 of the Plugin using the API which gets around these
issues and had hoped to release it but the API has been deprecated so I
think that is now a dead end.

This means I should re-write section of RadioNet plugin to fix the
issues. 

Current workaround to have cover is to manually edit the Favorites.opml
file - LMS must be stopped for this.
