I don't use LR on the iPad, but I do use various other tools there. The iPad Pro 11" (2018-2019 edition) I have is outfitted with 1T data storage and 6G RAM … It works well with the 50Mpixel raw image files out of the Hasselblad 907x/CFVII 50c. A very fast and powerful little machine! Hasselblad's dedicated "Phocus Mobile 2" app is quite good, albeit with a bit of a learning curve. Leica CL, M-D, SL, etc files are handled nicely in various other editors on the iPad.
I suspect that's the class of iPad Adobe has in mind as a "semi pro image processing environment" as opposed to any of the older, non-Pro models. It has been many years now since I had any need of Photoshop. When I need a pixel editor of a similar nature, I use Affinity Photo (which has versions on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS). It's both a lot cheaper and simpler than PS, and has no monthly tax attached. I'll move away from LR too when I find a substitute that does what it does and works well enough. I've never found much need or value in the Cloud features of LR; they were around even in the LR 6 and prior time. If I want to show photos to the world, I use Flickr and Instagram, occasionally FaceBook. If I want to control the web display more specifically, I create a website of my own. It's not so automated, but gives me explicit control. Overall, that's my primary thrust: I want to be in control of my photo files so I don't use things that put them out of my control.
