Nothing would be native on an iPad, but there could be a potential of using Sidecar on mac to use an iPad as a second display.

Microsoft Surface Pro tablet with its stylus is known to work well and it runs regular Windows. Here’s a video of a Microsoft Studio which is just a really large touch screen desktop running Slicer.

I had a chance to try it in a Microsoft Store (it helped that Slicer installation does not require administrator access anymore). Thanks to recent improvements by @Sunderlandkyl, drawing with the surface pen is very smooth. The programmable wheel controller is very handy, too (I just added a prev/next slice action but any other shortcuts can be added). A short video is available here:
