Is it fine to leave my iPad plugged in like forever I don’t really care about the battery anymore but I’d like to know if any other components besides the battery can break Or if possible if the battery breaks will I be able to use it while charging only?
iPad Air, iOS 12
Having an iPad continuously powered for extended periods is not an issue - as this is common practice in POS (Point of Sale) and Kiosk applications.
iPad will optimally manage battery charging - and may automatically change its charging strategy by reducing the maximum battery charge level to about 80% of maximum capacity. This strategy is intended to extend the life of the battery by reducing chemical ageing that occurs when the battery is continuously maintained 100% charge. When a “normal” charge/discharge pattern is resumed, charge to full capacity is restored.

No. You can leave it plugged in. But just not forever. So, unplug it when you don't plan to use it for a while, to avoid overheating and failure.

No. Do not leave an iPad plugged in forever. It may overheat, and if there is a surge, it may affect the charge. Charge it, and use it while it is plugged in. Place it aside when no charge is needed.
