Start with the glass and work your way back.

II recently purchased an RP, matched with the RF 24-105 F4 L, for use as my main stills camera. Nothing in the M system can match the quality of this RF standard zoom lens.

My M6 MkII, matched with the EF-M 11-22, will now become a backup used primarily for 4k video. Nothing in the R system can match the price of this M wide angle zoom lens.

Camera bodies come and go, glass can last forever.

Exactly. Everyone gets hot and bothered about the latest bodies, but outside of huge updates (IBIS or big AF changes), the updates are marginal. What's more important is do the lenses suit your needs? The EF-M has a compelling and affordable line-up at the short end (Sigma trio, 11-22, 22 f/2 and 32 f/1.4), but is that enough for you?

Yes, the adapted EF/EF-S midrange zooms are pretty good, but the new Nikkor Zs and Canon RF lenses are like nothing we have seen before. It's up to you to answer that question.
