Do we even still need it with the (presumably) better battery life on the iPads?

Leaving it constantly plugged into the big battery is probably a bad idea.
We are asked to always leave the EFB connected to the backup battery while using it on the flight deck. If that were a major concern, I don’t think they would have written the policy like that.

But for now this is nice. But if any apple fanboys know the answer (Google search has been too wordy on this) how should we treat these batteries? Drain to 5% before ever charging?

I've had my current iPad for more than 2 years on the line, and it has not had a single hiccup, not even once. Your model, the Pro, is even more robust.

I get about 3 days use before needing to charge the iPad, so basically I charge the iPad once a week in the airplane.

But wait to people stream entire movies on it. (If that's possible)

The main reason I’m aware of is if the work iPad is compromised (which is a long shot), your family account won’t be tied to the device. Call it OCD, but I prefer keeping the accounts separate.
