My iPad fell from the roof of my car and has been run over (at least once). The cover, screen and digitizer are broken and missing.
The question: can I recover info/data from it?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
iPad uses an encrypted filesystem. Unless the iPad can be restarted to a running state - and the Passcode successfully entered - all data locally stored on the iPad will remain inaccessible and beyond reach.
As described, all data on your iPad has been lost. Repair, even if possible, will result in your iPad being reset. Additionally, for practical purposes and in lieu of repairing and returning your own iPad, Apple usually exchange the iPad for a renewed/refurbished iPad of the same model and specification.
If you have the foresight to create an iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPad prior to its demise, you will be able to restore the backup to a repaired/replacement iPad. If you don't have a backup, all your locally stored data has been lost.

Any data synchronised with iCloud will remain accessible to you. Setting-up the replacement iPad with the same Apple Account (AppleID) will provide access to your iCloud data. In the interim, this data can be accessed using a web browser from any computer:

There is most likely additional damage beyond repair.
Unfortunately, the iPad has been completely destroyed and will need to be replaced.
Unless you have a backup of your important files, that data has also been destroyed.
You are invited to visit an Apple retail store to discuss your iPad upgrade options.
Good luck! šš¼š

Without some idea of your requirements or needs, it is impossible to provide any constructive suggestions.
By example, for some users a 55" 4K screen may be ideal - but for others a basic 13" portable monitor with 1080x1024 screen resolution may be a better fit for their needs. I might speculate that "your" ideal is somewhere between these two potential extremes?
As for keyboard, this might be wired USB or wireless Bluetooth...

Ate you thinking that plugging these devices into a damaged or destroyed iPad will let you access the data on that iPad?!?!?

Can I recover my data from a broken iPad?
