I'm not deep in the ecosystem and certainly no expert but I got one of those small iPads for free and tried using it as a device for browsing the web.
AFAIK there is no way to make Safari execute any cosmetic filters at all. (My uBlock Origin setup lists ~50k network filters and 150k cosmetic filters)
There are cookie notices, social media buttons, premium newspaper article headlines, comment sections, fixed elements and content "suggestions" everywhere. Unusable.
I use css filters in ublock origin to increase the font size of the HN comment titles because I often miss the collapse or vote links. ...or to block the food suggestions in Googles shoppinglist that, by appearing as an overlay, always hide the first list entry to suggest me to buy "hamburger". (I'm not joking.)
I still do have the device somewhere and I am open for suggestions on how to get control over the content (or at least remove ads) on an ipad, but I don't think there is currently any full content-blocking solution for iOS.
Which is a shame because (in my case unbearable software aside) the device does not appear bad from a hardware perspective.
