I think that the distinction in Phase III and Phase IV is an important one.
The "tyranoforming" idea would definitely be appropriate for a very late Phase IV, but I don't think it is suitable for tournament play because it would disparately affect different armies - IG desperately need terrain cover, SMs could care less in many cases.
The background on Mycetic spores has been discussed extensively, so I'll leave it at restating that I think planetfall should be restricted to Phase III.

Perhaps then go a different route - that of more access to Tyranid-specific terrain in the armylist, along similar lines to the defences available as part of the IG Siege Regiment armylist.
That way, you still benefit from having that feel of the planet being turned against you, without having to balance the effects of changing each and every terrain piece already on the board.
