Has she tried using a different browser on the iPad - like chrome, firefox, or opera? Just curious.
Got a tip for us?

Apple can do smaller updates to the iPad as most users don’t upgrade every year so there is no need for annual device overhauls.
Just out of interest, what email system does your wife’s employer use? Not seen many (or any webmail clients) that fail to work with Safari.
Far as I can tell it's just lazy programming that doesn't work with mobile browsers.

Apple is missing the boat by not competing with the Microsoft Surface. And soon to come is the modular Red Hydrogen Smartphone, with attachment modules to really turn a smartphone into a DSLR-like camera!
Not competing with the Surface???? Bizarre, they sell more iPads in a month than Microsoft sells Surfaces in about a year. And how well have modular phones sold?, Ask LG how well their modular phone sold Especially Android based models at iPhone X prices? The Red Hydrogen is not only LATE to market (was due Q1 2018) but is the definition of a niche product.
Won't make a difference as other browsers on iOS are merely wrappers for the same awful Webkit rendering engine. For low cost devices, ChromeOS has the best desktop browser followed by Chrome for Android then iOS Safari last.
That is strange, since I monitor my company's website for ad serving flaws, and routinely something will work on mobile Safari but not Firefox or Chrome — or vice versa. It's very frustrating to come upon something which I thought was serving correctly only to find problems in other mobile browsers.
In Microsoft's defense I would say about 1/3 of the pages are images, but I agree that it should have been able to handle it. But, I blame the Surface since OneNote is a flagship Microsoft product shipped with the device. No one else seems to make software similar to OneNote however. I have years of itunes cards stored up, so I would be willing to try almost any app as long as it has handwriting search and unlimited folders in folders for storage. (Notability has handwriting search now, but I can't figure out how to organize more than one folder deep.)
The hardware is my other complaint with the SP4. I consider myself a fast touch typist, but the bend and wobble of the OEM SP4 keyboard was unbearable. Switching to the iPad I didn't even give the cover keyboard a try and instead just got a case for the magic keyboard. It's not convenient, and forces me to rely on touch more than I would like, but I am also more productive. The other thing I hate is windows hello. It works better than my iPhone X, but the technology still struggles with me. I have 3 pairs of glasses with different frames, about 4 dozen hats, and shave my face and head about once or twice a month. I want to use face recognition, but over time I have started to realize that the fingerprint reader is a better way to go. (I did see that they now sell USB fingerprint readers for Win10, and I wish I had tried that before making the switch.) Still, the iPad Pro works well enough.
