iPad 1 (iOS 5.1.1) as a second monitor?

Is there any way to use an iPad 1 (iOS 5.1.1) as a second screen on a brand new Mac (macOS Monterey, chip M1)? I already know that Twomon, Duet, Spacedesk, Luna and Splashtop are only compatible with later versions of iOS, and that Air Display only works on a Mac with Intel chip.

Using TWO iPad's as external monitor's. With the most recent update its possible to use one iPad as an external monitor and use a secondary one to port your keyboard and mouse to. Though it seems impossible to use two iPads as external monitors to in effect create a triple monitor setup. Are there any known solutions to this? My workflow requires me to have a triple monitor setup and as I'm travelling for work I'd love to be able to get this solved as opposed to selling the older iPad and replace it w/ a portable monitor.

I'm pretty sure the answer is an emphatic no. That device is simply too old.
