Magento 2.3.3 System Configuration Tab label Not Support Image Tag
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Config:etc/system_file.xsd">
<system>
<section id="section_id_here" translate="label" type="text" sortOrder="400" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
<label>Section label</label>
<tab>tab_name</tab>
<resource>Vendor_Module::acl_name</resource>
<class>css-class</class>
</section>
</system>
</config>
Now you get a special class (css-class ) added to your section and you can control that via css files.
It works for tabs also but a bit different. The class must be added as an attribute
<tab id="tab_id" translate="label" sortOrder="400" class="css-class">
<label>Tab label</label>
</tab>
I had this problem too, you can override the template vendor/magento/module-config/view/adminhtml/templates/system/config/tabs.phtml
this way :
<div class="admin__page-nav-title title _collapsible" data-role="title">
<strong>
<?php
$label = $_tab->getLabel();
echo strpos($label, '<img') !== false
? $label
: $block->escapeHtml($label)
?>
</strong>
</div>
