What an incredibly timely post. In 2016, when I first tried this, the answer back then was "absolutely not." Between a Wi-Fi only iPad, a not-so-great official keyboard, iPadOS being too touch friendly, and it being militant about backgrounding, that experiment was largely a failure. Today, like four hours before I saw this post, I am deciding to give it another go and trading in my MacBook Pro and 11" iPad Pro for a 12" iPad Pro and a Mac Mini. Tailscale, cellular iPads, the Magic Keyboards, and the iPad's being on M1 chips has made them much more viable for being a true laptop replacement. It's not ready to completely absolve me of a desktop (can't write code locally on it...yet), but it's getting there for sure.
