x11vnc is really the most easy way to get it running. I hadn't time to read the whole monitor thread so far, are you sharing your startup options/config anywhere? I just would use it over encrypted home lan.
Why are you using an on-tablet keyboard with bVNC? Are you doing proper remote - the desktop one big network away from the tablet? If the purpose is "monitor", it would be a normal case to have the two machines near and you should be using the keyboard attached to the desktop. Otherwise, if (for some reason) the keyboard has to be attached to the tablet, you should use a BT keyboard - it makes little sense to have the "monitor" obscured by a virtual keyboard.
If this does not make sense to someone: with VNC and remote desktop in general, both devices (the "source" and the "monitor") can be used for input - you can use the source's mouse, the tablet's touchscreen etc.

A sample not-really-optimized `x11vnc` command can simply be
x11vnc -noipv6 -allow 192.168.22.2 -forever -speeds lan
and even less than that (or much more).
I never looked into encryption for Onyx-to-desktop VNC because I do not believe it sensible (for general use, as a default setup) to have other connections than a USB cable. Which, unfortunately, is not possible with this firmware but we are confident the thing will be fixed in a forthcoming firmware.
