The latency with VNC is very little. The main bottleneck is the low refresh rate and the lag of my old E-ink tablet. This can be a much better experience with a newer tablet with higher refresh rate.

What refresh would we need to hit with e-ink monitors for this to be a viable alternative?

Depends entirely what you're doing. There's no reason you can't read/write at 10-15 fps, but it's going to start to be very frustrating to scroll through websites, as a negative example.
