Will upgrade my Ipad Pro 10.5 once the OS is here. Lotsa new stuff to explore and utilize.

Same processor as Air 2. Might lag with the upgrade. Wait and see.

Don't update. There is no reason to update for iPad mini. IpadOs is about desktop feature and iPad mini is not meant for desktop workhorse.

No need to update forever. Not worth it.

Later it slow down your experience ..

Especially for iPad mini 4 because it's the slowest of all and it does not need ipadOS feature. also and somewhat applies to iPad 2017 because it got slower processor

I think ipad 2017 should be ok. A9 chip is still ok. A8 will be slow.

Actually very surprised that iOS 13 not supported on iPhone 6 or 6 plus while iPad mini 4 can actually support the new iPad OS. Both are having the same processor except iPad mini 4 has 2GB ram instead of 1GB on iPhone 6/6 plus.

Apple released the iPadOS to tempt and kill those old iPads if not those old buggers would refuse to upgrade to new iPads

iPadOS is still unstable though. Saw that the latest version is now draining the battery quicky.
