I just realized there isn't one in openRA! What else is missing that I'm not noticing?

We probably don't want the

Remove its ability to carry people, its still good on its own.

Yeah, although the 'Transport' part would then not make sense... if it's included, some fantastic method to balance it would have to be dreamt up.
Like a ridiculous cost ($1600) and late double-tech (ATEK/STEK & DOME) prerequisites, possibly also losing stealth while attacking and loading/unloading?
Or we could just say "fuck all that" and alter the text on the cameo icon. Whatever. Anyway, here's the original unit with a 'correct' appearance on the cameo:

And an alternate unit SHP to reflect the appearance in the original cameo:

I really wouldn't like stealth technology in the RAmod; camoflauged stationary tanks perhaps, but not futuristic stealth concealment. Didn't the phase tank just appear in a few missions anyway?

Yeah, two expansion missions - "Test Drive" and "Let's Make A Steal".
I think it could work with some careful testing etc., but there's a glaringly obvious reason why it's not enabled by default in The Aftermath.

If engis cap outside (they may do this soon..) phase
could make a return, but a big discussion about that unit would be needed

Remove the transport capability, and just make it a Phase Tank.
