This looks like tramp-rclone.el hasn't been loaded.

I don't know the :quelpa argument, but likely it does what it says:
fetching the Tramp sources "lisp/*.el". However, Tramp's *.el files
cannot be taken as-is. Additionally, trampver.el and tramp-autoloads.el
must be generated, this is what Tramp's Makefile does.

I rather recommend you to clone Tramp's git repository, and to run the
usual "./configure; make".

And maybe somebody who knows the `use-package' :quelpa mechanism could
enhance your recipe to a proper installation. There's also something
like ":commands (tramp-file-prefix)" I don't understand. I'm not aware
of a Lisp object `tramp-file-prefix'. I would be willing to help (and to
add the final recipe to the Tramp manual, when working).
