And where is the compact FF mirrorless option if Canon were to stick to the EF mount?

It can still be compact with a newly designed lenses for mirrorless EF mount bodies. They just have to be carful to prevent them from mounting on dSLRs.

26mm makes a lot of difference when designing a very compact body. It certainly be at a size / weight disadvantage against Sony and of course m43.
The 26mm integrated "tube" has to be sturdy enough to support heavier EF glass.

A steady mount is a must for Canon. It does not have to be a tube. It could be not much different than the current dSLRs overall, with a  good grip and a solid mount. It could add 100g or so but with a shorter flange, you either use an adaptor or a longer lens.
