It is very much safe to use on that iPad and will not impact performance.

I also concern that if I don’t update at this moment , apple will force me to update to iPadOS 16 very soon

Apple will not ‘force’ you as such but once iPadOS 16 is released in September, you will no longer be able to install iPadOS 15 as it will no longer be signed and available for installation. So if you want to update to iPadOS 15, do it now.

iPadOS 15 is perfectly fine, but you don’t need to restore anything. If you want to stay on iPadOS 14, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Then set it up as new.

I have it on my 2021 12.9 & Mini 6 and it works great. (Also, iOS 15.x on my 12 Pro Max).

Speed-wise, there’s no slowdown on the M1 after upgrading to iOS 15. I expect it’ll be a few more years if and when it experiences a slowdown on basic OS/UI/UX functions.

I have the 1TB (M1/16GB) and honestly, I think support will have dropped off due to chipset features or age without performance being affected much.
