So I am planning on buying an ipad, never owned one before. I have always been an android guy and from what I have heard Ipad os or ios is pretty restrictive in nature so I was wondering how much does it hamper the piracy experience. For example on android I can torrent files of any nature or size without any restrictions and sideload the apk's of paid apps to enjoy them for free, can I still do all this on an ipad or should I just drop the idea and get an android tablet instead ?

Torrent clients are banned from the Apple Store and you can't sideload apps. It's a very restrictive device in many respects.

uuff, that apple silicon is the only thing that made me wanna buy an ipad in the first place but I can't deal with their restrictive software environment.

Get a used M1 Macbook Air. MacOs isnt restricted like their mobile devices. Its passivly cooled, relativly cheap, portable and also capable for more serious productive work.

relatively cheap

Unless you require storage (or memory)

Definetly get the base model, use a NAS for storage and just download more RAM
