iPad 1 (iOS 5.1.1) as a second monitor?

Is there any way to use an iPad 1 (iOS 5.1.1) as a second screen on a brand new Mac (macOS Monterey, chip M1)? I already know that Twomon, Duet, Spacedesk, Luna and Splashtop are only compatible with later versions of iOS, and that Air Display only works on a Mac with Intel chip.

I'm pretty sure the answer is an emphatic no. That device is simply too old.
