Did you try to erase it and set it up as a new device, to rule out any defective data from the backup?

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Tap Transfer or Reset [device].
  4. Tap Erase All Content and Settings.
  5. Tap Continue.
  6. Choose to keep or delete your eSIM. If you erase your eSIM, you need to contact your carrier to reactivate your cellular plan.
  7. Enter your device passcode.
  8. Wait for your backup to finish. 
  9. Enter your Apple Account password.
  10. Tap the done button ✔️ on your keyboard.
  11. Wait for your device to reset.
  12. When the process is complete, the Hello screen appears.

If the iPad still restarts after setting it up as a new device without adding any 3rd party apps, you should get it serviced by visiting an Authorised Apple Service Provider next to your place:
