Problem
Using YAML's "Block Style" a tab is not a valid indention character:
https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2777534
Proposed Solution
The .editorconfig should be updated to change the indent_style to space rather than tab for *.yml/*.yaml so a developer's IDE is property configured to use spaces in these files rather than tabs.

I presume you actually mean

As we use tabs for PHP and JS

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Apologies for the confusion. It should be correct in the patch. :)
