Depending on the iOS version you’re on, it will be both significantly slower and with far worse battery life.
For basic usage, it will probably be fine performance-wise, barring iPadOS 16-induced RAM issues (battery life, probably not), but if the usage is basic, you probably could do without the update. It’s a lose-lose situation, in my honest opinion.

That’s Apple’s new UI for multitasking on iPadOS so yes. I do wish you can hide/disable it, though.
Earlier versions of iOS allowed disabling split view/slide over. That’s something I’ve always done on my parents’ iPads. They get confused/panic when slide over windows suddenly pop up.
My is a 2017 5th gen up to date and running great.
some videos do "squiggles" when tapped with a thumb, but that can be the website.
OH
I streamed the Arsenal-Citeh cup match last week on the iPad, to an TV with 2 HomePod minis (blue) for sound
without a hitch or stoppage in play, which was incredible!

The App Store issue sadly is not related to the iPad 6th generation. I observed similar issues on my iPad Pro (both 2018 and 2022). So it is an Apple/iPadOS 16 issue.
I have it installed on my 6th generation iPad but these days I do not use the iPad that much because the 2 GB RAM are not enough for my usage and leads to a lot of frustration. So I cannot share very meaningful feedback on how it performs.
Unfortunately, iPads with 2GB of RAM have gotten the short end of the stick ever since iPadOS 13. Which is a shame, because we have in that category the best iterations of Apple’s original design intention with the iPad: all 9.7-inch iPads since the Air 2 support it.
I can confirm: I have my 9.7-inch iPad Pro on iOS 12 and performance-wise, it is great.
With my 6th gen, Brave browser has some kind of issue where it usually hangs when I attempt a search in the browser bar. Maybe I need to re-install Brave and re-assess that.
But I have been noticing that overall performance is getting a little chunky/stuttery on my 128GB iPad 6.
