I guess I am being a bit dense here, but I do not see a reason not to use VNC for controlling a rig under RPi control. I used to get into my RPi's all the time from some variant of VNC on a phone/tablet/laptop/desktop choose your OS poison... I use (been a while) Chirp on a RPi to control a Icom handheld, I run it headless and use a tablet to VNC into the thing and program the radio. I just turn on the RPi, as soon as I see the network ligth start flashing in a certain way I know it is talking to my little ittybitty pocket router. I pull up the tablet ping it, if it pings, I VNC into it and fire up Chirp then mod the radio shut it down and I am done. I think that is about the only thing I use VNC for, the rest of it is all term- inal sessions or I have a UI on the screen in front of me.
