Just install a meter can with a main breaker at the service. Then install the panel in the garage as originally intended.

What is the design load of a circuit that may never see more than an ipad charger?

How about ~20 notebook chargers? Seen that a few times when working in school IT areas. Bet if you had all of the notebook batteries completely discharged you could trip the breaker, but I'm guessing they seldom draw full rating and if so not for very long.

According to a lot of folk's thinking twenty amps if it is a twenty amp branch circuit, fifteen amps if it is a fifteen.

Kind of sort of is for circuits supplying general purpose receptacle outlets when it comes to conductor ampacity calculations.

For VD though - I'm in the group that doesn't think so, besides if you need to increase conductor size because of ampacity adjustments you also reduced VD at same time.
