You should consider the 12.9” iPad Pro if you have a terminal based workflow. The extra vertical space and higher resolution screen compared to my 13”rMBP and the ability to use any keyboard (I use the Apple Magic Keyboard 2) means it’s actually quite a cool device.

This is really interesting - I didn't realize you could use a proper keyboard.
Is there virtual desktop support?

iPads don't have "desktops", so no. That said, if you have two apps open side-by-side, Mission Control (double-tap home/four finger swipe up/drag up from bottom) remembers this and keeps the two apps together until you separate them.
As for keyboards, you can use any Bluetooth keyboard with any iOS device. That said, the keyboards made for the Smart Connector are quite nice — just not the first generation Smart Keyboard because the case is too flexible to use on a lap.
