I've used Adobe Illustrator intensively for a number of years, and have attempted to use Inkscape for some similar projects, and have found it quite robust!

The biggest problem is that it is almost universal in Abode apps is space to pan and drag the canvas. Inkscape had this at one time, but then removed it. Hopefully it has come back otherwise this app will never reach the power and speed of Adobe products.

For advanced users, it's all about the keyboard shortcuts!
