Is it safe for my mac's battery condition to charge it while simultaneously using ipad as an extended display via usb-c connection?
This question is not about battery percentage/life, but the overall health/condition of the mac's battery.

Your mac uses 'smart charging' to charge the battery, and ONLY when needed. Simply connecting power does NOT necessarily charge the battery, unless it needs to be charged.
Your should definitely connect the power adapter whenever AC power is available. Your Mac will NEVER over-charge. This will produce the longest battery lifetime possible, and the best short-term performance as well.
