Just a service announcement: you can get an external monitor that is charged and driven by a single USB-C for about $100 which weighs about a pound. Feels like it would get 90% of what I want out of a setup like this.

I initially got a $100 one, but ended upgrading to an Asus model with a touch screen and built in battery. It can run everything (video and charging the display) over a single USB-C cable. I used to travel with it and sometimes a gaming desktop, but these days I use it around the house whenever I need a display & mouse for a server that doesn’t have a dedicated monitor.

I posted yesterday about using an iPad as a 2nd monitor for nomads There was an app for this back in 2010. I used it quite a bit when I was on the road with an original iPad. Nearly 15 years later, Apple does it seamlessly and natively in iOS+macOS without any third-party apps is even better.

It is natively supported, you don't need any third party app.
