Well, yes you can, and this move hopefully will relax whatever limits are on the AUv3 hosts now. You already have FabFilter, Klevgrand and many more, Modartt has anounced Pianoteq for iOS, so plugin situation is good (and prices are way lower than on desktop). AUv3s such as Pure Synth or AudioLayer already support streaming sample libraries from external SSDs. So that situation is not bad either. Of course there is no Kontakt, Serum, Melodyne or RX, but until now there was no serious DAW either (Cubasis and Auria Pro lack a lot compared to Logic or Bitwig)
Actually having equivalent tools on iPad and Macbook, i'd pick ipad for two reasons: stability (newer MacOS versions are not fantastic) and touchscreen (can't map everything)
Now, if only Apple would finally make iDAM full duplex, so that it would be possible to use either ipad or mac as a plugin host.
