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.
