Should I update my 2018 iPad 6th generation to the latest iPad os 13 or should I stay with the existing one. I heard iOS 13 has a battery drain issue so wanna know whether I should do it and is even worth the risk with regard to new features ? Please help. Thank you.
iPad, iOS 12
Okay let's get some facts out there, as it seems some of our regular contributors here are not aware of the battery drain issues on iOS/iPadOS 13.4.1 on both iPads AND iPhones.
There is a serious battery drain issue with the latest iOS/iPadOS 13.4.1.
There is also a serious issue with a possible iPad persistent boot loop issue with some iPad models that upgraded to iPadOS 13.4.1.
Some iPads that upgraded to iPadOS 13.4.1 have encountered a never ending boot/re-boot loop that their iPad models cannot recover from.
Apple has no solution and is only offering in-warranty/out-of-warranty iPad replacements for this issue.
MANY IRATE iPad users concerning this constant and perpetual boot loop bug/dilemma.
There is NO fix forthcoming with the boot loop issue or battery drain issues, currently.
Another possible iPad issue is with the Safari Web browser crashing issues with some Websites that started with iPadOS 13.4.
I recommend you just sit tight with your iPad still running with iOS 12, until Apple releases the very final version of iPadOS 13
OR
Just wait it out until Fall 2020 for iPadOS 14 as iPadOS 14 is going to be a complete features fix/bugs fix release of iPadOS.
Best of Luck to You!

Thanks a lot for all your help. That was really useful . I was really concerned cause this is an irreversible change and I don’t wanna get into something and regret it later . Especially with something as crucial as the battery life and I heard a lot about iPad os 13 having a serious drain .

That's perfectly understandable. That's why opinions should not be sought or offered in these communities ... hopefully we all stick to facts.
Good luck!
I would trust MichelPM's suggestions as he is one of our longtime contributors for iPads. I have two iPad Pros so their behavior may be different than the regular iPads.
And I have NO background app refresh. Also have ALL automatic updates OFF.
Glad that helped.
Here are some of the benefits you'll achieve by upgrading.
Updating to the latest Apple software is always advisable. Updates provide the latest security, defect repairs, and may provide new features.
Thank you .. but is the battery drain a real day2day thing with iOS 13 and will the iPad 6th generation handle it?
I have a 2018 and 2016 iPad Pro and both are on the latest iOS.
Never noticed a problem. I do not do games though.
Thanks mate . Is there any discernible useful change which u saw after updating to iOS 13 on ur iPad 2018 6th generation?
Yes, of course. To solve battery drain, turn off Background App Refresh by going to Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
Thanks mate . That was comprehensive and detailed . Am massively conflicted right now though with two contrasting opinions 😋
Should I update my iPad 2018 to ios13
