Perfect economy harrasment, hero hunter, in bigger number can also stand as main battle tank. Not to mention about flanking capabilities. Having a group of those attacking from side during clash or providing diversion can be devastating.

And decent against ghost miner in case of Epsilon vs Epsilon (being detector themselves)

In numbers, you might be surprised at how they can quickly destroy the toughest tanks and disappear later, only to pop on the next one.

 

And their range means they can kill most basic Anti Tank infantries and escape before retaliation can be made

So:

 

1. I was right about harvester harassment.

2. Hero Hunting? Didn't think of that one, makes sense.

3. Surprise attacks, where the object is not so much raw damage as it is psychological/tactical?

 

There is a psychological aspect with Shadow Tanks.

 

Unlike Starcraft, there aren't any long-ranged stealth detection options like Terran scanner sweep or Protoss observers, so unless you've blanketed the map with detectors, you probably will have no idea where the Shadow Tanks will be. 

 

A careless player might underestimate you, while a good player will be cautious.

Someone should make a Shadow Tank mission to hammer their usefulness into this person's head.

There's one, just look at The Conqueror.
