There is a bunch of functionality in the phone app that might be desired
by users. Such as the ability to end a call. Or use a phone menu. Or
toggle speakerphone mode. Or mute the phone.

Besides, what you are proposing be possible is to hide from the user
that there is even a phone call going on, let alone that one was placed.
Even if you have the best of intentions, others may not.

Up to a limit of 100 before the user is notified of what you are doing.

Are you an expert on FCC regulations? Bear in mind that you are talking
about *phone* functionality, and so there are quite a few regulatory
bodies (FCC and equivalents in other countries) that get involved with
that sort of thing.
