I've scanned a few hundred images using an iPad as the light source. I've tried both a white screen and a bluish screen designed to basically invert the orange cast from the negative.

Both seem to work well. The bluish thing works quite well, but it turns out that different rolls need slightly different light color to compensate, so it wasn't worth the trouble. In the end the best result was buying a license for Negative Lab Pro[0] to post process everything

That's a good recommendation, thank you. It's amazing how complicated film photography has become in the digital era! My next task is to ditch Lightroom/Photoshop subscription. I'm going to give Darktable a go. Edit: aaah, I see NegativeLabPro needs Lightroom, hurrumph...

Seconded. NLP is well worth the money - not just in results, quality, and time saved, but also in finding joy in shooting and scanning color.

I held out for sometime myself, but NLP is excellent. It works particularly well with an old Pakon I still use as well as using a camera to “scan”.
