I'm not an artist..should definitely start with that and while I had a Pencil 1 and 2, I stopped using them because they never got any use.
I've had a iPad since the 1st generation and moved 11" Pro 2018 to 13" 2021 M1 Pro as a laptop replacement. The transition was slow then sudden where for many years I had a 15/16" MBP in my backpack + iPad Pro with keyboard and an iPhone and I'd consume on iPad, create on MacBook
Then I started doing 10-15K miles of motorcycle travel per year where I had to bring just one and the iPad had less moving parts and was smaller so I started traveling with that begrudgingly but then...trackpad support + Magic Keyboard was released and that put me on the iPad Pro as the default mobile choice and MBP only when creating content (photo/video editing)
My day job is a project manager so with Atlassian, Omni, Office 365, Adobe apps, I can do all of my work on an iPad Pro w/ trackpad that pays the bills. I can even import photos into it via my Canon 5D or GoPro and do some dailies for social media but mostly, I Just need to be on a trip or away from the office and be able to respond to an email in Outlook or approve a time sheet or review a document and sign / edit so iPad Pro IS my only workstation now. I sold my M1 MacBook Pro and Core i9 MacBook Pro recently because I wasn't using them anymore.
My plan, no matter what Apple did was to work 90% on my iMac, 9% on my iPad Pro and 1% on iPhone and that's my division. With these new machines, I will wait to see what Apple does with next iMac and if the performance is identical and sustained w/ thermal limits to today's MBP announcement, I'll end up replacing my iMac with a MBP 16" and then I'll have everything I need
1. Amazingly fast office computer
2. Mobile workhorse
3. iPhone for everything else.

If software on iPadOS gets better, I may one day be able to do more content creation on the iPad Pro which is why I bought a 512GB model but I just don't see that happening in a way that is as good as what the Mac can do.
