New iPad Air and iPad Mini

Arguably you could group them as Pro and Consumer.

- Pro: iPad Pro (11" and 12.9" - FaceID, Bezel-less)

- Consumer: iPad mini, iPad Air and iPad (TouchID, Bezel)

I don't see how this differs too much from Steve's approach?

If iPad Mini, iPad Air, and "iPad" were part of the same line I'd agree. You've basically grouped them as if they were (they aren't).

The Apple website is a mess:

A more Jobs approach would be more akin to this:

The Mini would simply be another "iPad" size.

I don't think he aimed for 4 products in a specific line, so he'd probably be miffed about how many variants there are between each.

I think the 4 iPads would be forgivable if there was consistency between the various product lines naming. iPhone _ Plus vs iPad Pro vs iPhone XS Max? That by itself is 3 different "descriptors" for their big screen devices (granted, Pro is less about big screen and more about spec stuffing, but non-tech consumers I know think iPad Pro = big screen iPad = expensive iPad).
