No, don't.
The intent of the device is different and the primary method of input is different. Adding a touch control to a predominately pointer-based UI is an awful experience. Using the iPad as a Sidecar display is nice for when you need the pencil but using it as a touchscreen is pretty awful. It really shows that macOS shouldn't be accessed via that method.
Rather, Apple should take a big leap forward with iPadOS 15 and allow more powerful apps to run on it, such as Xcode et al. Sure, it opens up the ecosystem a little and lowers the walls of the garden, _for iPadOS_, but it keeps the same best-in-class experience as iOS while bringing the power of macOS "pro" apps.
