Is a tuned load (tank circuit) a viable load for an RF amplifier
operating in class A? Or is this type of load only really suitable for
class C?

Of course you can use a tuned load with class A. But the nice thing
about a tuned load is that you don't *have* to use class A to achieve
a clean output. Of course, if you are using an amplitude modulated
signal, then you will need class A.
