Having used iPad Pro as daily driver since release of magic keyboard with trackpad, I agree with this take.
In particular, if you already use the new iPadOS "Stage Manager" with your business, productivity, and code apps in workspace clusters, you can use all the same apps, tools, and workflows as easily, plus spatial affordances.
Note that any iPad app, if pulled close to you to be about iPad sized within half an arm's reach, can be touched, scrolled, manipulated as if a literal iPad screen. This even works with apps such as Microsoft Whiteboard within Teams, you can write on the shared whiteboard with your fingertip. Of course, lack of solidity makes this far less precise than the literal iPad.
If you find the iPad Pro w/ Magic Keyboard and Trackpad and the Stage Manager approach to multi-task work constraining relative to laptop, you will be even less happy with AVP.
PS. This laptop and tablet case is one of the slimmest that carries both Macbook Pro 16" together with iPad Pro 13" in its Magic Keyboard w/ Trackpad "case" sleekly with plenty of space for all accessories:

It has a particularly nice pull strap that lifts the iPad out from the iPad slot. Carrying this case means you always have both with you.
If your use of the iPad is so comfortable you prefer to reach for that over the Macbook for most things even when both are at hand, going to the Macbook only when you need to do something in terminal you can't do in Blink shell, you will probably be fine for remote work using AVP.
