The link I posted above does. It magnetically attaches to the stand and charges. Or at least it used to lol
The notes on amazon say it doesn’t work with Beta versions of OS…. May not even work with iOS26. Also deceptive description it’s not really “wireless” it uses the Magic Keyboard pins.KU XIU [Upgrade] Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand for iPad Pro 13" M4/M5, Foldable Aluminum Alloy Tablet iPad Holder Mount for Desk, 360° Adjustable Tablet Stand with 1M USB C Cable

Yeah I guess by the true definition it's not wireless, but it's still a very nice accessory. I never figured it would be software dependent. Thought it was a hardware thing.
Using the smart connector or whatever it's called these days requires a handshake between the iPad and the accessory. I am guessing this handshake just ain't going to happen on beta software.
I, too, ran into the exact same issue with the exact same stand for my 12.9" M1 Pro when I installed the beta last week. I submitted a bug report via the Feedback app so hopefully Apple will fix this as it seems like a random thing to break via software.
And just to keep anyone in a similar boat informed...I updated to beta 4 today and it's still broken. Hopefully the next beta will fix it!
Not sure if it was fixed in beta 5 or 6, but I can report that wireless charging now works again. 
Which model of iPad will charge wirelessly through the back?Not sure if it was fixed in beta 5 or 6, but I can report that wireless charging now works again.
Re-read the thread above. Any of them that have the three-pin keyboard connector…there are several third-party charging stands that allow you to attach your iPad magnetically and it then charges through the connector.
