Very curious what other tripods you’ve found suitable for this purpose. At my own workstation, I use a pair of adhesive dashboard mounts, which allows me to achieve some pretty extreme tenting (see https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/1p1q5xz/), but while out and about, I worry that such light boards would get jostled around on a desk/table if tented as hard as I usually do.

I use two of these: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B077JX7GBL?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_d... it lets me tent at nearly 90 deg which is great. And it is also good for reclining on my LC4, where I use two Perriand berger stools as armrests and a Levo laptop stand.

For something sturdier I use Ulanzi super clamps with extensions.

The Glove80 (which is fantastic, as a 15 year Kinesis Aadvantage user prior) also has a tripod mounting kit which I haven't tried yet.

Very informative, thanks

Sure. The Nebula tripod is also tall enough to be just high enough to use while sitting on typical chairs, if you're ok with somewhat low keyboards / have long arms. It's a great at both lower and mid-range heights which makes it quite versatile as a portable tripod, aside from desktop use (although it would also be useful with "standing desk" laptop risers that go on top of other surfaces). It helps to rotate the tripod legs appropriately for stability when tented.
