I don't even see the difference between a faster and slower rate.
I think without critical M50II owners it will be hard to find out how fast the 32mm would track in subject/face+eye tracking mode at closer distances.
but I haven’t owned either of those bodies. I almost picked up an M50ii to use as a dedicated macro camera, but it isn’t quite a good enough fit for me.

It's discussed before. It isn't about speed of the subject only. There are two other factors in play:
- distance camera-subject. The closer the subject is the more challenging it gets.
- used AF method. If you use single AF point and do the tracking yourself it's not the same as using the subject tracking mode on the camera.
The latter is what I'm doing and doing this on the M6II there's still a significant difference in capability of tracking fast subjects between the ef-m 32mm and my Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art. A also noticed the 32mm keeps up a bit easier with the first AF method/technique.
Yup. Exactly the reason I use Spot AF and track the subject myself (facilitated by using the back LCD for increased situational awareness). AF is waaay faster, much stickier, and more accurate (esp with an STM lens like the 32). IME you need the horsepower of something like the R5 to fully benefit from these fancy subject tracking modes.
I know you're using the first method, and I assume you probably have your - admittedly fast moving - subjects a bit further away.
Near, far, the M6ii + EF-M 32mm (with Spot AF) provides me with a nearly 100% hit rate, in even the toughest lighting conditions, with some of the most difficult subjects possible. How about indoor basketball in a poorly-lit High School gym?

Virtually a 99% AF hit rate here is crazy over the top!
And I’ve always stated from the day the M6ii was released (and in my hands), that Eye AF was best utilized with close (humans). So be advised.
Happy shooting my friend!

Mac can check himself what his needs are, don't worry.
I know the M6II + 32mm fits your needs.
