cisco loopback0 for GRE tunnel is useful since it act as logical interface and GRE tunnel source could use loopback0 interface IP. How could I do that on pfsense?

Any reason you can't use the standard 127.0.0.1 & ::1 loopbacks?

logical interface IP is different than localhost IP, you can't use 127.0.0.1 on GRE tunnel setting.
