Is an icosahedral projection impossible to produce with PROJ/GDAL ?

desired output from gdalwarp

Produce ISEA "Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area" GEOTIFF/raster with gdalwarp.
I am trying to use gdal tools to convert Plate-Carree to ISEA and back.

The input GeoTIFF is "NE1_50M_SR_W.tif" directly from "The Natural Earth quick start kit" at https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/

I can find no input format or argument permutation that satisfies this error message.

gdalwarp  -te -180 -90 +180 +90     -t_srs "+proj=isea +elipse=sphere" NE1_50M_SR_W.tif out-isea.tif
ERROR 1: Too many points (10201 out of 10201) failed to transform, unable to compute output bounds.
