Took me some testing to get this right, but turned out not that hard. You add a reference to the Title field with the out-of-box id fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247, and then change the display name. In the sample below I’m also using a reference to a language resource as I need support for four languages.
<pnp:ListInstance Title="My List" TemplateType="100" Url="Lists/MyList">
<pnp:Fields>
<Field ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Type="Text" Name="Title" StaticName="Title" DisplayName="{resource:MyList_MyTitle}" />
</pnp:Fields>
</pnp:ListInstance>
