iPad backups

I have two iPads with the same Apple ID the photos and documents being saved to iCloud are identical. Is it ok to turn the backup off on one so I can just keep my free 5G space and not purchase more.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Each iCloud device backup includes settings and any locally stored data - but excludes any data stored in, or synchronised with, iCloud. Armed with this knowledge, only you can determine whether or not turning-off any device backup is an acceptable risk.
