Thanks a lot for your replies.

I will be getting the camera on Thursday, eagerly waiting for it.

What sealed the decision was an excellent deal wherein I got the XT100 + 15-45kit + 50-230 zoom for INR Rs 45000 (roughly $630). whereas the Canon M50 +15-45 was INR Rs 49000 ($700). Saved some money and got the zoom lens as well

Cheers

Also, don't forget to upgrade the camera's firmware (maybe even lenses). Google how to do that. The camera received multiple upgrades since its release. One fix I definitely notice is that the touchscreen swipe functions used to be super unreliable with the release firmware. But now, they work as expected.

The XC50-230mm is a great lens optically. I did find it struggled to focus in low light (more so than my snappy 15-45 for example, but then, kind of expected of telephoto+low light). Still, I've taken some of my favorite shots with that lens. What I love the most is the stabilization—really effective. I can shoot as slow as 1/8s shutter with no shake.
