One thing the author glosses over that I'm curious about that he said he got working was cloud gaming on the ipad to replace a computer for gaming. I'm curious what cloud gaming setup/provider he used and what the experience was like.

I've personally tried various cloud gaming setups before (stadia, geforce now, etc) and the experience ends up being less than ideal even with a stable, gig down / 40 Mbps connection.

Stadia has been quite good for me if I connect it via Ethernet instead of using wifi.

However I’ve really enjoyed using steams local game streaming. It works phenomenally well. My gaming pc is in my office office, and I’m loathe to enter the office after business hours so I’ve not been able to enjoy the games I like on my pc till I started using steam remote play. It works amazingly well, and I’ve played both 3D games like elden ring and 2d like enter the gungeon and both operate very well.

Xbox Cloud is quite useable, Dirt 5 for example impressed me in regards to latency but I found it to be too high for Forza Horizon 5 to be enjoyable. I've found RPGs to be a good fit, e.g Dragon Age Inquisition and Yakuza 0.

Halo Infinite has been quite decent, most of the time. Some screen pixellation and tearing occasionally. Apparently the very latest version when played via a Web browser (not the app) on PCs is far better than the last few releases.

That said, the performance was crappy enough that I just upgraded to having a console. I was able to download Halo and the campaign synced right up to where I left off in the cloud version automatically.

They all have similar not great latency. My understanding is just some people just can't see or care less.
