For $200, you can run virtually any iPad application or iPhone application. It's an entirely capable device -- there's nothing "wrong" or poorly constructed with this model. Yes, other models have nicer features -- but they come at additional costs.
It's also relatively newish -- only one generation removed from current. So you'll get a few years of use out of it before Apple end-of-lifes it, just to get you to "upgrade".
This ipad plus one of those cheap android tracfones (even if you don't activate them on cellular) will give you the ability to run pretty much any mobile application available.
There are frequent sales on 13" M1 Macbook Airs (they are a 4 year old machine at this point), as well as sales on refurbished Dell business-class laptops (8th gen intel and later). For around $1000, you can get one device of each platform. No excuse to not be able to get anything done.
Headphone jack and a home button are nice too!

It hasn't been announced or released yet
Cost, it will probably start at $399+
With BF/CM around the corner (102 days) I might buy this and consider trading in at Best Buy which offers $165 [bestbuy.com] as of today 8/19/2024. Assuming the trade in value remains consistent that's only $35 to effectively rent this iPad for almost 4 months.
Is my logic sound, what am I missing?
Can your kids play those games on 64gb IPAD 9th gen? I would think so, no problems and probably much newer specs than the very old ipad they have. There are youtube videos that compare the ipad 9th gen 64gb model to the galaxy a9 plus. Maybe watch them to see what other peoples experience with both of them. People seem to think the IPAD 9th gen is a better constucted device, and they like the apples games on IPAD, and like other features. I do have android tablets and it is different experience then apple . Maybe get both devices. I have both android tablets and chromebooks , etc ... the IPAD does seem better constructed product and more polished. Is this for you or your kids, again I wasn't sure. Research which device would hold up better? In either case, you were sharing your concepts to us, and your first post was like a first draft. Maybe you can expand on your points after watching some youtube videos comparing IPAD 9th gen vs Galaxy A9 PLUS.
I'm exploring tablet type devices for taking and writing notes by pencil, drawings for online meetings, and some light MS Office work.
How is this tablet for such things?
Are there better non-Apple alternatives (including 2 in 1 laptops)?
Maybe investigate ipad cases and stands for your IPAD, or do research on using IPAD in bed. I lay on my side in bed with IPAD, and have case for it, maybe others can offer us suggestions. How about a stand that stands 3 feet high and swings into the bed ... and can hold the IPAD, so it doesn't fall, so if you fall a sleep it is safe and protected. I am just brain-storming , since I share the same concern on what is better way to use IPAD in bed safely.

I don't know what you are referring to with the A2602 model?
this is the model number for the product I bought ... and it is currently NUMER ONE on amazon's top CASES.

I shared my IPAD case that keeps it simple and light-weight in above post. Now I will talk about the IPAD 9th gen case I bought with keyboard and place to store pencil. It is heavier, and does work, but I hardly use it, since I use just the simple-light weight case mostly.

I'm not recommending it or recommending it .... and it works great when I used it , but maybe research it yourself and see what you come up with. I will put the IPAD I receive in an hour in this case, and see if it gets me to use the keyboard and pencil I bought but have not used (yet).
