MODERATORS
Android 6 and 2GB RAM are still pretty sufficient, that should run everything important. I'd try to flash some lightweight ROM (maybe with higher Android) or at least debloat, and just use it normally for whatever I'd use a tablet for.
How do you recommend I debloat the tablet without bricking it?
Remove apps through adb. There's also an "universal debloater" that can automate it, but I could never make it work.
