Eos m or fuji X purchase

I've got 3k burning a hole in my pocket and looking to spend it on some camera gear

Actually, I've got the 3K because I had a A7III and 28-75mm and returned it...I simply wasn't able to "click" with the camera.
Also, it was too heavy for me.

Anyhow, I'm looking to invest into Fuji X or EOS M.
Actually, I have some Eos M material and actually...I love it!

I've got the original M, an M100, 11-22mm, 22mm, 18-55mm, 270EXII
Having 3K to burn on EOS M is proving a challange LOL.

I was thinking about buying an M50, 18-150, 32mm, EF adaptor (maybe the viltrox speed booster too) , 50mm STM and maybe the tamron 85mm 1.8.

Now the Tamron may be the odd one of the bunch, but I'm hoping to have a good portrait lens with good subject separation. And I'm crossing my fingers for using it with the speed booster as it would come close to the Fuji 56mm 1.2. The basic canon 85MM feels too old for me.
Now, I shortly owned an X-E1 with kit lens and loved the initial reaction i got on the camera, it seems it is also a style icon - while canon isn't.
And because of these "wow what a nice retro camera" compliments, people were more open to having their picture taken.
If I were to buy into Fujifilm, I'd get an X-E3 or XT-30...i'd actually love to get the X-T3 but i feel it's a big step up financially from the X-T30, without gaining image quality or things I need.
So the X-T30 + 35mm 1.4 + 56mm + 18-55mm....no wide angle, no "telephoto" prime...And the budget is pretty much gone!
I realize I'm in the eos M forum, but what would you guys do?
Many thanks fellow M shooters!
