Even my iPad Air 2020 has plenty of horsepower for such a horse-tied OS! (Pun intended.)

Speed yes. The extra RAM on the Pro has been very nice though. I've found iOS 15 to be a bigger memory hog than 13/14. I get far fewer reloads on the 2021 Pro than the Air 4.

iPad Pro releases have kinda been all over the place. There's really no "traditionally" about it.
iPad Pro 12.9 Fall 2015
iPad Pro 9.7 Spring 2016
iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen Summer 2017
iPad Pro 10.5 Summer 2017
iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen Fall 2018
iPad Pro 11 Fall 2018
iPad Pro 12.9 4th gen Spring 2020 (pretty much the same as 2018 plus LiDAR)
iPad Pro 11 2nd gen Spring 2020
iPad Pro 12.9 5th gen Spring 2021
iPad Pro 11 3rd gen Spring 2021
There aren't enough technological advances yet for another Pro model. Only thing feasible at the moment is 11" with Mini-LED but I don't think it's likely. I'm guessing we'll see new M2 Macs before new iPad Pros.
I've found rumors fairly reliable. Granted, I've gotten somewhat experienced at guessing which rumors seem unlikely to happen (or at least not happening soon).
