Harry, I do much the same. I have three cameras and shoot in RAW + JPEG and mostly use LR to catalogue and process the photos I take. I rarely keep the JPEGs, but I found taking RAW + JPEG doesn't really take too much space on a large SD Card, and occasionally I like to be able to browse the JPEGs immediately without having to take the time to export all the RAW from a shoot into JPEG. I only use the OOC JPEGs to basically help me decide which RAW images I want to import into LR, then I delete the JPEGs. LR is the beginning of the PP (post processing) workflow for me. I usually PP the RAW in LR, then export the best ones to 16bit uncompressed TIFF for further PP in Photoshop or other apps. I have the Adobe Photography membership. I also have PS CS6 and LR 6 which I own. Unfortunately, I cannot give you any detailed info on what all LR on my iPad Pro 9.7 can accomplish, as I've rarely used it. But yes the Adobe Photography membership allows you to have the following iPad apps installed:

Lightroom
Photoshop Fix
Photoshop Mix
Adobe Clip

I briefly explored these apps months ago when I got the Adobe Photography membership, but never really did much with them. I cannot even remember much about them. The Lightroom iPad app is synced to your LR desktop app, or actually to your account, so that is a plus. However, my photography workflow sees me taking RAW images with my cameras, importing those into LR on my MBP, and PP them there. I rarely, if ever, transfer any images to my iPad for PP, so hence the reason I don't know what LR iPad app can do. I rarely take photos with my iPad camera. However it is possible, as I recall, to open and PP an image residing on your desktop via your iPad using LR. So if you want to make a few adjustments via the iPad rather than going to the desktop, you could.

Affinity has just launched an iPad standalone photo processing app. They have a desktop app and it is fairly good as I recall. I used the trial desktop version for a while. I've been waiting for a really good Photoshop-like iPad app, and Affinity just emailed me this morning that they have now released their iPad app. It will cost $29, but for a limited time is available for $19. Here is the link they provided. I think an app like this might better fulfill my iPad PP needs than does the Adobe Photography membership as I only want to use it standalone for a few images I take on the iPad or iPhone 7.

Sorry I couldn't give you more info.
