I drove a Toyota Yaris for about 10 years and those cars had the instrument cluster in the middle of the dash. It didn’t take long to get used to and one of the unexpected benefits was how much better forward visibility was. The Yaris wasn’t a big car but honestly the drivers position felt a lot more open and less cramped with that layout, and realistically the center of the dash is almost always empty space anyway. I personally liked it a lot. Not sure the “no instrument cluster + massive iPad in the center” is going to be quite the same feel or work as well, but everything being in the center feels way less weird than you would think.
