Brand new iPad 8th Gen and after 3 hours into setup I've still got the spinning wheel saying "It may take a few minutes to set up your Apple ID". Logged into my account online and it shows the new iPad has been added to my account. Tried a restart and it's the same thing. Can't get beyond this message!!
iPad, iPadOS 14
Hi! I've contacted with Apple support, my solution was just to try to set up your iPad without using your Apple ID, and once it's set up you can login in settings. It's been helpful for me! Hope it works!

I had the same problem, a support chat solved it quickly. Restart, then follow the setup to the point where you would sign in with your Apple ID. Choose Forgot Apple ID or Passsword, and then opt to set it up later in Settings. Follow the rest of the steps until you get to the Home Screen, then go to Settings and finish setting it up, including signing in with your Apple ID.

People have posted they had to let the setup run overnight for it to complete.
Just restart your ipad (by pressing Home and Power key simultaneously). It will work post restart.
