For the USB-C iPad Pro models, any USB-C hub with a USB-A port should work. You'll need to provide extra power by plugging a standard Lightning-to-USB cable into the adapter and a power source.
The new iPad Pro got a nice upgrade, and it makes a tempting laptop replacement. Apple's new 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pros are great. Apple's new added mouse support for iPads makes these, and other iPads, much more powerful work machines that really can replace your laptop.
If you have two new iPad Pros, you can use the included USB-C to USB-C cable to connect them together and charge the other. One iPad will take power from the other at a time. Third party USB accessories can also receive up to 7.5 W of power, just plug them in.
Connect a USB drive or an SD cardNote: The Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter can be powered with a USB power adapter. This allows you to connect USB devices with higher power requirements, such as external hard drives, to iPad.
WHAT DOES A USB-C OR Type-C CABLE LOOK LIKE? The USB-C cable head is smaller than before, and looks a bit like a Micro-USB connector. Eventually this is the USB connector you'll use with your devices instead of using your existing USB-A, Micro-B, USB-Mini, or Lightning cable.
Because different iPads use different connections, you'll have to purchase different charging cables for them. And since Apple's cables are marked-up in price, especially Apple's Lightning cables, you'll be paying more than non-Apple users for a cable that Apple could replace with USB-C.
To connect the iPad, just connect the adapter to your iPad, connect the adapter to your television with the appropriate cable, and switch the TV to the correct input. You can also connect your iPad to a TV wirelessly if you have an Apple TV. To do that, use the Screen Mirroring feature in the iPad's Control Center.

No. iPads are not full blown laptop replacements. IDevices and iOS have quite a few limitations over laptops, Macbooks and desktop computers. Since the iPad pro runs iOS, and iOS does not support multiple monitors, i would say no.
