not worth. just tether lah if you need data.
And now if both your iPhone and iPad is the same iCloud/Apple ID account + Bluetooth turned on for both devices, when you turn on the Wi-Fi on your iPad, you should be able to see your iPhone listed as one of your devices to connect to for Personal Hotspot.
So you don’t have to always manually turn on the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone, as long as it is nearby.

I would go for tethered data from iPhone.
Outdoor just tether.
Indoor just wifi. Alot of free wifi spots in sg
The few hundred dollars saved can buy some other apple products.
I think the question to TS is, are you going to use your iPad when you are on the go? If so, then perhaps it merits getting the cellular version. Otherwise, most people will tend to settle down somewhere before they pull out a tablet to use. That is when using tether makes more sense. After all, it is just an additional step of pulling out your phone and switching on the tether and the iPad will just pick up the signal.
I used to think, yes, I will use it on the go. Till I am using it, I actually find myself more comfortable with using my mobile phone when I am on the go. After all, the 5/6 inch phone is more convenient than holding a 10 inch tablet.
Only worth it if your data plan comes with an extra sim.
I got an extra SIM card with 500mb data which I am using for my iPad.
Good enough for me to watch football games while on the train.
Pair with Zero1 $9.90 unlimited throttled plan.
OR
Tethering from iPhone?
I got a cellular ipad pro 11 with a starhub sim, 2 week of using cancel off and now using TPG simcard. Shiok
Previously download nursery video cos starhub got limit. With tpg i just stream youtube in HD outside.

With cellular the GPS works better cos also supported by cell tower triangulation.
