Going to be traveling for extended time with two iPads and it would be nice if I could use them as a dual monitor for work - which as I understand is currently impossible. Is there any thought to an app which allows dual monitor usage with two ipads. Split screen is mostly useless to do any significant work. Something like Sidecar would be very helpful.

Your iPad can mirror its own display to a single external monitor. iPad is not designed to accept video input as if it were an external monitor. Via USB-C, the iPad can output video using USB Alternate Mode video.
The Mac Sidecar feature permits a Mac to use the iPad as an extended desktop for the host Mac computer - or to act as an input device (e.g., as a graphics tablet) for the Mac.

Can you expand on that? The hardware exists for the USB-C port to allow it to "be" the second monitor - can't that same hardware, given the proper software, able to pass data to a second iPad as does a Mac? I just spent $3,000 forwhat would ideally be a complete repalcement for my ThinkPad.
The use of a single external monitor is principally a hardware limitation - not software.
