Sorry, no, not possible.

iOS/iPadOS devices do not support connection of Optical Media drives. As such, direct access to optical media (such as CD, DVD, BluRay) is not possible.

No and never.

iPads/iOS/iPadOS never had support for optical disc drives.

They use too much power and there have never been any drivers coded into iOS/iPadOS.

Sorry.
