sp3d is a reasonable guess.

Iodine trifluoride is an unstable molecule and the structure is, as far as I know, is not known. It may have a similar T shaped structure to BrF3 with bond angles somewhat less than 90.

The structure with 10 electron pairs around the Iodine is predicted by VSEPR to be a T shape.

I do not know whether calculations using valence bond theory have been carried out to determine the most likely hybridisation.
