I worked off of an iPad Pro 12.9 (with keyboard cover) when I was remote for a few months. It was ok. What made it possible for me was Panic Inc's Coda, Transmit, and Prompt apps. The portability of it and battery life were great. There's also a certain intimacy in working with a touch device. But there's a cumbersomeness to it when coming from a keyboard-centric background.
