I hope they make it evolve further, but it’s the story of Apple features. For the remaining 20% there are less seamless but more evolved third party apps (I personally use Duet, which is not without faults but has portrait support and more)

Is it as smooth and low-latency as sidecar?

I don’t use sidecar but I'd wager it's not as smooth nor optimized.

I use it with an older iPad so newer version might be better at it, but I see some artifacts on scrolling sometime, and it's clearly using the iPad's resources at full. There are params like resolution and processing that can be adjusted to priotitize what you care about (e.g. I go with retina res and more latency/lower processing).

I think sidecar will be better at the thing it does, I use duet mainly for the fexibility.
