Funny you mention gestures. I was just playing with them. Did not get too far but will get back to it later. The iPad user guide is not totally accurate which leads me to think there are some differences between models.

   Yep I am fine with Touch ID. And the home button

Mini 5 has pretty much the same chip as the current iPad pro 11 & 12 inch devices.

Same with the iPad air 10 inch.

All of them now allow for the same gestures such as flick up from the bottm of the screen to the appswitcher,

Down one vibration  for control panel /  two vibrations for notification manager.

The only thing the mini lacks is face id which I’ve got no issue with.

Hi e.t. The ipad mini uses the a12 chip.  I think the iphone 8 uses the a10 chip.  HTH.

    Simon,
         I like the mini 4 only because it is the only iPad I have used,
    except for the mini 3. Just took a quick look at specs and prices. The
    mini 5 might do well. I'm getring used to the BT keyboard which can
    connect to up to 3 devices. And there is iCloud Drive so all devices
    can
    share.

         Given the difference in cost between Pro and mini, I can live with
    the mini. I don't know what chip the mini 4 has but my iPhone 8 has it
    beat. :) Ok found the chip. Yes the mini 5 will almost match the iPhone
    8. Close enough.

         Thanks Simon. Appreciate the overview.

    Any limitations on what the Pro can access? Like a 1tb plus iTunes
