> I haven't tried since I don't have a USB-C iPad yet, but I would expect that if they mount as a standard FAT filesystem that you should be able to just plug it in and copy the files.
Does the iPad not support HFS+ and Apple File System?

It does, I mentioned FAT because that's probably what a camera's memory card uses.
It's pretty similar to Mac; I believe the supported systems are HFS+, APFS, FAT, and exFAT.
But NTFS is not supported at all (macOS can read but not write) and encrypted drives aren't supported (macOS supports read/write).

Or if you want to use a card reader, you get one that plugs into a USB-C port and toss it in the bag with the iPad, just like you would with a USB-A card reader and a Surface.
I don't know about the GoPro since I don't have one, but if it's a normal filesystem they ought to show up in the Files app as well.
Since you already have a USB-C MacBook Pro in sounds like either the cable or the reader would work on both devices.
EDIT: slightly outdated from iPadOS Beta 5, but this blog reports that the Files app shows RAW files and can preview them, but doesn't generate thumbnail icons. Not sure whether this is still the case https://numericcitizen.me/2019/08/01/browsing-raw-images-in-...
