This is an impossible setup for a front end dev. As you mentioned Mobile Safari is junk. To add to that, its debug tools are laughable. Don't even think about cross browser testing unless you have additional remote systems + VNC.
I tried an iPad + keyboard + remote vim a while back and found it slowed me down significantly. Having to take my hands off the keyboard and swipe or use the button slows my flow. Writing code and want to look something up? Swiping to Safari is much slower than Cmd+tab to a real browser.
