I am in the same space for my personal computing needs. But it took a while to get there.
I bought iPad Pro at the end of 2017 after reading various blog posts of programmers using their iPad for programming. I loved the form factor and snappiness of apps but it was pain to do real programming on it. Yes, I was using Blink shell to login to remote VPS but debugging JavaScript was tedious. I was having buyer's remorse but I kept it because I enjoyed drawing and reading on it.
However, after 2 years or so, this iPad has become my default device for my personal projects. What is crazy that iPad has changed the type of projects I start at home.
Before I was mostly focused on building webapps build using Laravel and Vuejs/Reactjs. Now most of my personal projects are command-line only such as using python/data science, algo trading. I am working on a command-line based CRM.
Going forward, I might still keep personal desktop or laptop but not upgrade as often as I used to. (unless iPad changes for worse).
