I’ve just got the MBP 13” and a 12.9” iPad Pro to use as a second monitor while I’m working from home. And it works really well for me.
I’ve found virtual meetings really good, using the MBP as the main screen for the meeting and then the iPad Pro for documents. And I work between two documents regularly, hence the second screen. Sidecar seems pretty robust and I haven’t had major any issues yet.
And the Magic keyboard for the iPad Pro really makes it into very workable device by itself.
Muppetteer-
This sells it for me then.
Just as you were writing that I was reading that others are using the iPad with Google Jamboard app to create an incredible whiteboarding setup too.

I should ask... are you using a stand for the iPad?

that's surprisingly good. I plan to use the 2nd monitor for predominantly displaying a web browser without video. I figure the MBP primary display will do all video stuff and what I need is just something with a screen resolution and colour as similar to the MBP as possible, and that can allow me to open a document or a dashboard of graphs, alongside my MBP screen.
A 12.9" iPad Pro would make an almost identically sized external monitor... and all I'd need do is find a stable stand for it.
I mean... if there were a 20" it would be even better, but 13" is still good.
