The warning that you see relates to your iPhone settings. Ensure that Low Data Mode is not enabled on the iPhone.
On your iPhone:
Settings > Mobile Service > Mobile Data Options > Data Mode - select any option except Low Data Mode
If your Cellular Service service or associated plan does not provide sufficient bandwidth to support update over a hotspot connection, you'll need to connect to a WiFi network or use an internet connected computer to perform the update.

Turn off low data mode. See, go to Wi-Fi in Settings, click on the Wi-Fi connection ur iPad is connected, scroll down a little and just below Password, u will see a Low Data Mode toggle, toggle it off and then update.

Further to my initial reply, you need to note that your iPad can only be updated using your iPhone's hotspot connection over a high-bandwidth 5G Cellular connection.
If instead you are using a Cellular Router (sometimes known as a MiFi Router), your iPad will connect using a WiFi connection to the Router. When using this type of Cellular hotspot, or standard WiFi connection, you must ensure that your iPad's WiFi connection is not set to Low Data mode:
Settings > WiFi > [Your WiFi Connection] - tap the blue "i" icon, then deselect Low Data Mode
