It's a pity the GM5 is gone, otherwise that would be my recommendation. The GX85 is the obvious successor.

Here in France, and I think also in all UE countries, the GM5 is still available. I bought one a month ago and it is very compact, about half the GX85 size.

You only have to give the IBIS, which may be a limitation when using primes, and the video is only full HD, no 4K. Other limitations are not really an issue for travel.

When I travel, it's always my GM1 + (either GX85 or PEN-F) + 9-18 + 15 + 25 + 45 + 7.5FE + 45-150 in two separate bags - one bag comes with me and other bag holding the other lenses in hotel safe.
