All I want is a remote transport with the ability to place my start markers. The ability to create tracks, arm them and assign inputs would be secondary but awesome.

I need to be able to sit at my drums and control basic recording / playback features in ableton.

You can already use your phone as a virtual transport with several different apps, but I do agree: one would expect this kind of feature from a companion app.

it's not a mobile Live controller app - that's where you'd expect to see a virtual transport.

it's a mobile Live sketchpad app.
