Is there a way to have the iPad as the only monitor for the Mac mini M4 without needing a primary monitor setup as well?

There is the Luna device as well as Duet, but I'd prefer a zero cost option if possible.

Is it doable using Sidecar?

The other alternative is to purchase a 13" monitor - only issue is they all seem to be in this weird (to me) widescreen format and when you turn them to portrait mode, which is what I need for chart reading on stage, they are too long...so a suggestion for a monitor with the same aspect ratio as the iPad Pro 12.9" would be the way I'd want it.
