My use case is vastly different from yours, and I found that iPad-only isn't something I can do. iPadOS and its apps simply aren't up to what I need to do (thankfully I'm out of the Google ecosystem almost entirely and don't depend on Chrome or its extensions for anything at all). I even downsized my iPad Air (pre-M1) to an iPad Mini. The mini is an excellent device, a nice companion to my MacBook Air. I just don't need two screens of nearly the same size.
