Actually, now that I've used both a lot: yes, technically speaking, Apple has provided a small subset of the functionality in musicIO. But even just for MIDI connections, musicIO is far easier to use than the Apple stuff in a rig. At some point I'll write up why it's better. And for audio, it's miles ahead of Apple's implementation, and far lower-latency.

Things have changed since iOS 11.

if you don't need Wi-Fi, use a Lightning Cable and musicIO MIDI-only version. This is also built in to newer iOS/OS X versions. You enable the iPad as an audio source in Audio/MIDI Settings and the MIDI ports appear.
