Any lens that allows for electronic manual focus override

Half-press the shutter button. Operate the focus ring while pressing the shutter button. The displayed image will automatically zoom-in, "MF" blinking is presented on the right top corner of the display (back LCD or VF) and focus peaking will be come up (if enabled)

It's a treat. Enjoy

Just tried it with M5 + 18-150mm. The zoom works but no peaking (it is enabled because peaking works just fine if fully MF). Also how do you see the non-zoomed view once focused ? Bit hard to compose when hand-holding if zoomed right in 10x - I must be missing something.

The peaking is there. It is very narrow and feeble but it is there.

The problem is that, even with the level setting to "High", focus peaking lines on Canon M cameras is inexplicable feeble.
