I was thinking the same thing as I was reading. Seems like feedback lag while drawing brush strokes would be frustrating for an artist. But then again, we have examples of surprisingly good response time in the game streaming world.

Like anything it's going to heavily depend on latency to the workstation in question. With cloud providers that have reasonable region coverage, it's not really that bad. In our tests, ~40ms latency is the upper bound of where you want to be before artists start really complaining, and Teradici themselves suggest 25ms for optimal results. However, depending on the task said artist is doing, you can venture above that, though for Cintiq/pen displays it becomes pretty painful and a "live with it" type deal.
