I'm also getting deeper and deeper on that Headless Musicstation
road/paradigm during lasts years. I'm still developing processes, workflows
and software tools around the idea of "More Music, Less Tech", that's what
I like when improvising, using touch devices and mini PCs as Raspberry.

(Still trying to prepare things to release them properly)

So, for me a screen on stage would be mainly for displaying info in a
dashboard as a feedback to make sure everything is ok. Then MIDI
pedalboards/surfaces and touchscreens to control and create on the fly.
