iOS lets you reply inline on messages.

Grouping notifications is something that iOS can do, but it's up to the app to do it and most don't.

I don't see why you couldn't SSH into your server with the right iOS app. Not sure how easy it will be to use it as a proxy, but there are VPN apps on iOS so I imagine it's possible.

Prompt by Panic is the best one I've tried; I run most of my sessions inside tmux, so they persist on disconnect.

iOS won't let an app keep a socket open very long once it's out of the foreground. (In generally backgrounding on iOS is unreliable. It's a double-edged sword: it keeps rogue or badly written apps from burning down your battery.) People who do a lot of SSHing generally use something like screen on a remote host.

(Actually, using something like Blink and mosh seems like a better idea. See some of the comments below.)
