Potentially - no…

iPad is no longer supported as a home hub on the new, more reliable and more efficient Apple Home architecture. If you are using the new architecture (recent versions of iOS/iPadOS16), your iPad will not be usable as a Home Hub. For new architecture, your will require a HomePod or AppleTV to act as the Home Hub.

More information can be found here. Careful reading may be required:
