the iPad's biggest weak point by far is Safari and its inability to do anything in the background (slow pages should load and render even if they're not in focus; I should be able to download things in the background). But it is pretty great for hobby coding.
I use Blink for mosh (ssh connections get closed if you leave the app in the background for too long) and Wireguard for VPN to my Linux VPC (it's so good!). I started using a code folding config in my remote vim so I can fit more stuff on my screen.
I recently started using Juno for Jupyter notebooks on my iPad. It's 15 bucks and requires a bit of work to get SSL certs set up on self-hosted instances, but it's actually usable unlike Safari.
The Logitech smart keyboard is far better than the Apple keyboard IMO but I don't think they've made one for the newest model iPad Pro yet. (I have the 2017 model)
