Thought I would follow up:

I have experimented with the remote play capability and its pretty impressive. The risk of disconnects is a bit higher but 60ms delay in responsiveness is hardly noticable. I tethered my 4G connection and it was super smooth. Also tried wifi in a few other locations and it was very playable.

I will caution, I have worn out the A button on two shiekds already (both replaced advanced rma, prepaid return shipping).
