I think the short answer is still, you don't, unfortunately.  The Create GIS Server Connection File tool isn't/wasn't a core geoprocessing tool but an ArcPy Mapping function, and the ArcPy Mapping module was completely overhauled between ArcMap and Pro.  I haven't double checked in Pro 2.7, but last time I looked into this issue there was no good solution.

UPDATE:  See https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/how-to-create-an-arcgis-server-connection-file-with-the-python-3/m-p/1047998#M39804 for an option on using the undocumented  arcgisscripting._createGISServerConnectionFile.
