I'm considering replace my old Wacom Intuos Pro with an iPad + Apple Pencil for use with Sidecar.

Has Sidecar been improved at all since its initial release? I've been scouring youtube, and it's so hard to find reviews newer than 3-5 years old on this topic. Back then, there were well-documented issues with pressure sensitivity and jitter using the Apple Pencil over Sidecar. I'm hesitant to drop so much money on a 13in Air or M4 Pro + Pencil only to find out that things haven't improved at all.

Does anyone have recent experience with this? Anybody using this setup in their current workflows? Would I be better off looking at Luna Display? My primary apps would be sculpting in Blender and drawing in Photoshop (or Affinity if I finally decide to take the leap).

Here's the primary issue I'm hoping to avoid. Again, this video is 5 years old when Sidecar was brand new. I'm really hopeful this still isn't the current state of Sidecar.

Any insight would be deeply appreciated! Thank you in advance.
