The Kenko Teleplus HD takes EF-S lenses and works pretty well with the 55-250 STM on the M6II. Weighs 4.5 oz and costs around $150 USD from B&H. About the same size and weight as the EF-M adapter.  The focus is still quite fast considering the STM lens.  I tried mounting the 55-250 + K1.4x on my 5D4 and focus was slower and would hunt.  It also vignetted quite a bit but I expected that.

One caution though is that the EF 70-300 IS II doesn't power up using the converter with the M6II or 90D. This lens combo does work with older cameras like the 5D4 and 80D.

Here are a couple of examples. Note the correctly reported focal length.
