I find Texpad to work great in principle, although I get frustrated by any text editor that is not vim. If you have the ability to sideload (that is, you have a developer account), there is a fork of iVim (https://github.com/holzschu/iVim) that supports running TeXLive locally on the iPad. I wrote up some notes on how to make this work some time ago: https://michaelgoerz.net/notes/editing-latex-on-the-ipad-wit...

When I don't need offline editing, another workflow I've used is to do the editing on my linux server: edit via Blink/tmux/vim on the left, and see the compilation result on the right via Screens/vncserver/evince (with auto-reloading).

I actually came across your setup when figuring out mine. Thanks for sharing!
