EOS M100 good as a take-anywhere option that has low light capability?

I've been following a new mini-obsession with compact sized cameras that also come cheaply. My "main" one is the X-T20, and while I love it, I just can't bring myself to carry it around most of the time. So, I've started doing what I do best - bargain hunting.

The local used market seems to have the EOS M100 with kit lens for 150$ if I'm lucky, and compared to eBay it seems like a good deal. Everything (except the lack of EVF) seems to point to this being a nigh-perfect camera for my purposes: carry-everywhere... travel... low-light situations but no fast focus required, think of wandering through a new city at night or, say, a cathedral interior. I shoot mostly manual and RAW, taking my time for shots, not above ISO800 and handheld 1/10s, 1/6 if I'm very lucky.

I know people would point me to Sony for low-light priorities, I know. I'm just a bit... tired of my old NEX and a friend's a6000 that I used. I don't know, with the a6000, the haptics didn't work for me, I got annoyed at the colours... Also, their kit lenses were absolute dogs in comparison to others, and the better ones cost too much for my take-anywhere purposes. I think that the M100 kit and 22mm f2 could be what I have been looking for. I just need to see some kind of confirmation of its low-light capabilities?..
