This is not 100% accurate. There is no card integration, but the Opal app does allow you too see pre-paid balances. It does usually show the tapped on/off status, but it may be delayed by a few hours (so it's not completely useful) especially outside of metro areas.

Which never worked on iOS, it was Android only iirc.

You can use Samsung Pay. Make the card inaccessible for normal NFC/touch payments, and only allow Samsung Pay Transit. On iOS I think you can use Express Mode? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/105079 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/105079
We attempted smart card transport in NSW three times. TCard. There was another one that went bankrupt iirc.
Arguably there is much greater success with Opal vs. Myki.
