The newer iPads with the m1/m2 processor are light years ahead of the 4 year old model.
But you are in luck, in a few weeks a brand new series of iPads will be coming out with the m3 processor, a newer Magic Keyboard/trackpad, and will be even bigger than the current 12.9” iPad Pro. All of this along with a new iPad OS, this will/should be the iPad version that you truly can replace a Mac mini/macbook.
My m1 iPad Pro will be up for sale once this comes out.
