That's a completely different concept from "virtual jamming", which requires moving audio back and forth over a WAN.

The sort of live sound mixers you're describing just send control signals between the pad and the mixer, no audio flows to or from the pad.

There are monitoring apps that do send audio to the device. I'm not talking about mix control apps. These are wireless replacements for dedicated monitor mixes that run over WiFi.

Right, but those are entirely different from the control protocols used between the pad and the mixer ...

... and it is still different from virtual jamming, which more or less definitionally requires a WAN. If you're all within wifi range of the mixer, you're actually jamming :)
