Last I checked (over a year ago) I think Google Fi wasn’t fully supported with Apple devices? I can’t recall the details, but I distinctively remember being disappointed the service sort of had a “for best experience, use an android device” component to it.

Their service doesn't support 5G on any Apple devices. My kids only have LTE on their iPads despite the modem having the capability.
I will say that tethering on my phone works in a situation where LTE doesn't work well. However the convenience of not having to worry about connectivity is worth the extra cost for the cellular iPad. I never wanted to be that parent, but it is the path of least friction since my oldest has a lot of acronym mental health issues.
