Portability is of course still slightly to the M series camp. But the RP with 50mm 1.8 isn't that bad in terms of portability as well,

“Not that bad” (RP), and “Excellent” (M6ii) are on 2 different levels.

You missed the part about "with 50mm 1.8"

LOL. Seems you missed the part about "every other equivalent lens in the RF catalog being monstrous in comparison."

Once you add the lenses, there is not much difference in size and only 2 grams difference in total weight

Sure... and the OP is going to only ever travel with the 50 STM on his camera. No matter where he goes or what he shoots... Right.

Unless just maybe he'd like to take along a travel zoom someday? Or even a standard zoom? Let's see...

RP + travel zoom. M6ii + travel zoom. M6ii + standard zoom.

The M6ii also isn't portable with my 16-35mm, with my Tamron 35-150mm, with my 100-400mm. It's a joy to shoot the RP with the RF35mm btw. Almost perfect on the hands. Smaller doesn't always mean more ergonomic. Ergo vs portable.
