I'm sorry, but that's not part of Krita, but part of Qt. In fact, if sidecar integrates with the native macOS support for tablets, then it should already work, as noted in that pdf: "Apple and third-party Mac apps that support stylus input already work with Apple Pencil, "

Have you tested this? We cannot test it, because our macs are too old to support sidecar.

Sidecar works on krita already. this can be seen here: https://youtu.be/7ROc8dMDams?t=494 The problems shown in the review are also seen in Photoshop and Affinity Photo.
