I continue to hope Canon will release a EF mirrorless in the near future to resolve these issues.

I hope they don't do that. What would be the advantage of an M5, M6, SL2 original M sized mirrorless where they only add 26mm more flange distance or only removed the mirror? You still need to have the immense flange distance of 44mm to make the EF glass to work.

You are still better of with an EF-M mount camera that is thinner because of the about 26mm shorter flange distance. If you want to use EF glass just use the adapter on it. In the end that would be exactly the same as a mirrorless with only EF mount or just glue/never remove the adapter on the camera and you have an EF mount mirrorless.

I'm not seeing the advantage of EF mount only on a mirrorless body. For certain lens ranges the shorter flange distance of the EF-M mount is an advantage to make the lenses smaller.

Canon just needs to solve the issues that are there and make it a better product. Also create some more higher quality EF-M glass. Creating an EF mount mirrorless doesn't solve any issues.
