Yeah, once a device's price crosses about $500 -- they should really just give you a full desktop Operating System, not a mobile one.
Most Tablets are fine sub-$500, to be just little mobile fun devices.
But over $500, you can get some really capable laptops -- its insane they still limit the software you can use.

A deal on a lower tier M4 would be a decent buy since it should have support from Apple (for parts/battery replacements) for at least 5 years from when it's discontinued, through late 2030 or later. I'd expect iPadOS updates through 2032 or later.
The M4 Pros are the first of a new design (OLED screen, thinner, lighter), so I don't expect significant hardware updates for a while. The previous design was basically the same for four models in a row (2018-2022).

Apple hasn't been innovative in last decade but for education the experience is different. I would say in particular art & music.
