Can't Figure out a workflow for iPad and Desktop, sync still stuck after 2 days

I'm new to Lightroom, coming over from Capture One, and I'm trying to figure out a workflow to use my iPad as a client reference on jobs. I just came back from a shoot where I was importing my RAW images shot on Sony A7RV to my iPad in Lightroom, and clients were able to review and make their selections right away which was great! But now I'm running into a seemingly never ending sync procress to try and get the Lightroom on Desktop to load everything, which I understand takes a while with RAW, but it's been over 2 days now. The iPad has 3,111 images in the Lightroom app and it says 2,840 images pending syncing. The Desktop version only shows 294 images and is very slowly telling me "syncing 46 items." Doesn't seem to be uploading/downloading quickly or the same number of photos.

What is a faster way to try this workflow so I can use my iPad to be portable, but not wait ages for it to sync over? Would it be better to shoot JPG + RAW and only load the JPG images into the iPad then import the RAW's later on Desktop? What does that do for the sync if I did that, would it still try to sync the RAW's I'd import into Desktop? Or can I tell Ligthroom to only sync JPG and ignore the RAW?

Appreciate the help!
