No, it's how I use browsing (and special internet-related features) on the dedicated tablets: phone connects to the Internet, special-purpose devices connect to the phone set as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. All in a few taps.

Yes ; )
Although, if you need a portable router, that's a pretty comfy solution, isn't it... Your phone is your Swiss IT army knife (your "Jürgen S.").

Of course, if this turns out to be the only workable way for an onyx Max2 or Note device, then it's a matter of how important this use case is. I just think it should ideally be made to work in a less roundabout way if at all possible, and miracast would represent such a possibility.

I confirm the price is what I saw around.
Did you know about MHL, "Mobile High-Definition Link"?
Unfortunately, again the manufacturer knows if it's there or not (and if inexplicit, it's probably not). If you look at the gsmarena.com pages, you can see it is specified in the "Comms > USB" record of the specs.
You should ask Onyx about both Miracast and MHL.
