As a "retired" wedding photographer I traded my 5Diii's and L lenses for the M50 and the lenses you mention (I have 22,15-45, 55-200 and the amazing Sigma 56/1.4). I may also add the 11-22 (perhaps by trading my little-used 22mm)

I have even used this camera to shoot 2 weddings (as a favour for friends) and this camera performed flawlessly.

I LOVE the EF-M format and sure, there are better "M" cameras out there (the M50ii and the M6ii) but the lack of EVF in the M6ii stops me from buying it. For now I sit and dream of a M5II (M6ii with built-in EVF) but the minute Canon announces that they are dropping the EF-M line-up my finger will smash that "BUY" button on the M6ii

the 11-22 and 32 are the lenses to get with the M6II -- they work nicely with the nice tilt back screen so I can use my odin triggers.  With longer lenses, I'd want an integrated EVF

Thanks for sharing your views and tips (I was not aware of the 22 f2 limitation on Auto for example).
