iPad Pro If Apple were to use Stainless Steel for the frame and Titanium for the back panel would that be enough to prevent bending?

A glass back may prevent bending, and totally wouldn't introduce other problems

A glass back on such a thin and big device would not prevent bending and it could break easily from any torsion.

I think the main issue is the weight. They’re really trying to make it as thin and light as possible. Even now, the M4 13inch remains a bit too heavy to be handheld comfortably.
The use of glass might worsen this!

Nah glass is perfect, especially ceramic shield!

It feels like this would make the iPad heavier and more unwieldy to hold. If you desire more back support, perhaps get a magnetic back / folio to serve as extra structural support?

No it’s not. Ceramic Shield is just a marketing name for something that still is glass. On a small iPhone the torque is not enough to break it. On a 13” tablet would be a nightmare. You really need a sturd frame to avoid ANY bending
