You forgot to mention a few other niceties that older iPads get with iOS 9.

Better and easier overall cut, paste, copy operations.

Transparency window effects has improved on older iPad models

The new UPPERcase/lowercase onboard software keyboard.

The new software keyboard trackpad feature by tapping two fingers once anywhere on the software keyboard to navigate the onscreen text cursor.

Home Sharing has returned in iOS 9 (This was sorely missed by all in iOS 8, myself included).

More app icons visible on single pane app folders.

With iPad 3 and later with Siri, there is the new "Hey Siri" voice activation function.

This is all I could find for the time being.
