This will work in header-includes in your document's metadata, but not in header-includes in the metadata section of a defaults file file. The reason is that, as documented, values passed to --metadata are parsed as plain text, while metadata in a markdown file is parsed as markdown.

You could try 

variables:
  header-includes:
    - \usepackage{tikzsymbols}

Variable text is passed through unchanged (so no escaping).
