I really enjoy my M6 II, but I am a bit disappointed with its AWB compared to my M50's AWB-W. It just seems to be a bit too red in certain scenarios. I have to manually change my WB to 3000K or less during indoor use. That's something I've only had to do with my A7 III, which I find a bit too finicky for my tastes especially when shooting video of my fast-moving kids. I never really had AWB issues with Canon before. I wish there was a way to do a "-300 to AWB" automatically or something, like AWB-RW (really white :-). Thoughts? Solutions?

Try experimenting with the WB shift for the entire color space. It's on the camera tab 4 menu. "WB Shift/Bkt."

Maybe you can find a compromise point for indoor/outdoor use. You may also be able to store two different settings in C1/C2.

Edit:  Maybe for this situation the creation of two user defined picture styles would be a better choice...concentrating on tone adjustments.
