"Invisible tanks would be hard to hit."

Not at all, not unless they also could 'camouflage' their heat signature. But that's already been done, too.

"Could somewhat ameliorate tank vulnerability in MOUT environments."

Not unless they also added weapons systems to cover the dead spots. Otherwise the only close-in defense they'd have is driving erratically to run over the enemy. Which, BTW, is why tankers refer to infantry as "crunchies."
