Yes, it's very simple to implement. The main thing that needs to be
solved is the API. Actually, your remark about stacking something else
than least-squares on top of a random hidden layer made me think:
would it be a good idea to implement this as a transformer, say
RandomSigmoid or RandomHiddenLayer?

(I'm not sure which module that would fit in; for the theoreticians
among us, would such a transformer count as a GLM with link function
tanh^{-1}?)
