The Enterprise Incident - Why does Sub-Commander Tal allow herself to be taken prisoner?

I do not find any reference to a Klingon cloaking device in TAS. I believe you might be thinking of the Stasis Field Generator weapon the Klingon ships used in "More Troubles, More Tribbles"

We may not have seen it used but the Klingons did have cloaking technology or mentioned having it in TAS

Yes, that would be Spock's line of Dialog in The Time Trap:

KIRK: Explanation?
SPOCK: I can offer none at this time. However, the Klingon ship was not destroyed by our phaser fire. Its shields clearly deflected the phasers. Nor was its disappearance the type that would have been affected if it were using its cloaking device.

Thanks, Kor. I knew I'd heard it recently

It was intended to be even smaller by Fontana. Her idea was that it was some key component that could be slipped into a pocket or bag by Kirk, so he wasn’t walking around with this huge lamp under his shoulder.

It also explains why, when Kirk goes into the cloaking device room, he looks everywhere but the giant glowing white orb in the center of the compartment while searching for it, and then he has to trick the Romulan guard into showing him where it is by telling the guard someone wants to steal the cloaking device and following his gaze when he checks if it’s still there, even though it’s the most obvious possible object in the room.

Well, think about it. What do you already have in place? Deflectors. So, this should be a minor argumentation of the deflector system. Which explains the amount of power required to make use of it. The more power the Deflectors require, the more fuel that is used, hence a limited time frame. According to TMOST, the Enterprise, could only keep her shields up at optimum for twenty hours. Much less at full power.

Which means that FASA got their whole idea too simplified...

It is warp factor power plus shear intensity that counts. This would mean that the Baton Rouge class, optimum warp factor power would be at warp factor 4.5...maximum would be at warp factor 4.8.
