I've just bought TouchOSC to use it with a new Amazon FireHD 8 controlling 2 Windows systems. When it arrives I will do my first steps. Beginning with Embertone Intimate Strings. So no help from me available yet, but I'm also curious about any use cases.

I've programmed controllers for:
Sample Modeling Brass and Strings
SWAM woodwinds
Embertone ISS and Joshua Bell
Omnisphere
Trilian
Keyscape
Orange Tree guitars
Cubase Track Quick Controls
I use it to record automation passes mostly.

Articulation switching with Touch OSC is great, because you can name the switches. Much more convenient than a keyboard for this task if you ask me. (And you can also program an x/y-pad if want to take a more adventurous path.

Is there a possibility for 2 way communication with Touch OSC?

...do you mean from Daw to touchOSC? If so, I'm not sure.

I actually uploaded the templates here a while back.
Here's some, just change the extensions back to .touchosc as I had to change them to pdf to upload. They are good enough to use and get you started.

There is. I have two way midi working in Logic anyway..
If you assign a control to logic (ie volume) then the midi data is sent back to the tablet keeping everything in sync. It’s setup specific though.

Same with Reaper. Just make sure you have the appropriate midi out port enabled in Reaper’s settings (it is disabled by default).

It will work if your DAW will do it.
In Cubase, you need to use both "transmit" and "receive" (on each slot) in the list editor under remote setup.

Anyone got any tips for stopping “finger stick” on the screen?
I brought some “finger sleeves” on Amazon (designed for gamers) which work brilliantly but would rather not wear them all of the time..

I assume you mean finger not moving smoothly on the glass.
I'm using Touch OSC on an old iPad with a screen protector. Not sure if it's because it has some years on it or because the screen protector was designed that way but I can slide my fingers over the screen without issue. I believe my wife (yes, it's her hand-me-down) found a screen protector for the very reason of being able to swipe easily. Might want to check out screen protectors with that feature. Also have a protector on the phone and can slide easily.

I'd be interested.
I found it was very easy to set up but I mainly use it to control commands in Cubase although I did create a master volume fader for my headphones. I really am interested how others might be using the fader/knob controls and whether they use a feedback to OSC. That is where I had issues. Didn't like having the fader in a different position than Cubase and create a jump in position when moved. That's why I use it as basically a push-button board to control Cubase but even with that it is still a huge time saver.
I use many of the same buttons on Pieter's screen with mine (obviously my layout is different along with colors).
