cmd-t does open a new tab in Safari, and the other major shortcuts I'm used to from desktop Safari also work: reload (r), location bar (l), back/forward ([/]), previous/next tab ({/}), find (f), close (w). I do agree it's frustrating that there isn't parity (yet?), but I've been working my way through the Advent of Code with my iPad Pro and Coda, and have been reasonably happy with the experience.
