Purchasing a iPad but owning a macbook air 2019
wanted to ask the community if buying a ipad pro would be worth it if I own a macbook air 2019. Also have a iPhone 14 pro max. Needs some opinions.
You can directly compare models of iPad here:
In brief, for context, the current iPad9 is the current entry-level iPad - whereas the iPad Pro models are the “flagship” most advanced models, with the most advanced features and a price-tag to match.
The iPad Air5 is a cheaper but high-performance model that sits between the iPad9 and Pro models. The Air currently has the most recent generation of CPU, but lacks the most advanced sensors, screen, camera array and adaptive speaker array of the Pro models.
The iPad mini6 is a small form-factor device with a small screen.
The iPad Pro models are the most advanced models. The fifth and sixth generation iPad Pro 12.9” models exclusively feature Apple’s XDR miniLED screen:

The iPad Pro 11” models share similar technical capabilities to the Pro 12.9”, but lacks the advanced XDR screen.
Which iPad is best for you only you can decide - which will be influenced by both your needs and budget. Be mindful of choosing an iPad with adequate storage; buy as much storage as you can afford. iPad hardware cannot be extended or updated - whatever you choose is with the iPad for its entire life. It is far better to have more internal storage than you need, than to need more storage then you have.
Also be mindful of choosing a WiFi Only model in preference to WiFi+Cellular. WiFi Only models do not have any GNSS/GPS capabilities, which can limit usefulness if you require accurate determination of location (e.g., using mapping Apps). WiFi+Cellular models include GPS - but do not commit you to using Cellular connections. Cellular capabilities add flexibility is you ever need an internet connection whilst away from WiFi.
