The topic has been discussed a while ago and I bet that not much has changed. Chances that really big gaming console games are ported are slim.
Besides, Apple tries to establish its own gaming service Arcade.

COD recently came over to iOS but it’s not at all the same. It’s good if you wanna play on the go or don’t have a console but can’t expect the full experience. Better it’s than nothing!
The best you can hope for as far as console gaming is going to be streaming services like Google's Stadia. Even then, you are not getting the same experience as gaming locally is going to be superior to streaming for quite some time.
This.
You'll get some mobile games like CoD, and in fact Trials came to iOS too but they're 'mobile' versions are very limited compared to their console/PC counterparts.
Chances are that the big, true triple A games won't ever come to mobile devices.
I think the iPad Pro has the power to handle most console games (Apple claims it has GPU power on par with the Xbox One S) but having just the touch screen to use for controls is WAY worse than a console controller or keyboard & mouse.
The basic difference is the usage of the platforms. Console games are made to spend hours on the device sitting at one location. The paradigm of mobile devices aren’t the same and the gaming market for mobile devices is vastly different for the same reason. Console levels games will just not make enough money from these platforms. That’s why they target hardcore gamers mostly. Rather than casual mobile gamers.
Exactly. Since there is no force feedback or rumble support one might just select from all of these options to get the best personal fit.
