This is tangential to something I want to achieve: I have a 2016 iMac. Does anyone of you know if I can use that as a second display? Apple removed target display mode, which means the Mac with it's amazing screen is collecting dust.

I have used it to ssh into my Linux machine and have it as my main terminal and documentation viewer machine using synergy, but that is tiresome.

Yes! We built that into Luna Display: https://shop.astropad.com/pages/meet-mac-to-mac-mode

We are also launching a Kickstarter at the end of the month to add Windows support to Luna.

Cool product! I am a Linux user, so that is not quite for me. But almost!

I was just bummed that target display mode was removed in 2012. The last Mac I owned voluntarily had it, and the one I have now just sort of ended up in my hands. Now it is just an amazing display I don't really want to use since I can't run a proper OS on it without ruining the Mac os experience for my wife.
