Hello...
As usual - I enjoy your posts.
Do keep in mind that the info (and assumptions) in this post are dated and (now) inaccurate. The cracked bottom plate issue has indeed appeared with other M bodies as well (including the M6). Best to use caution here.

The M5 showed us it could be shattered and the M50 now appears to have a similar design aspect.
The strongest mount appears to be the one on the M100 and the M6.
I don't think it's safe to make that assumption based only on the absence of incidents reported here on DPReview.
This is a logical conclusion via deduction and observation. There's been no reports of other models suffering structural failure like these. The conclusion was made after observing the nature of the damage (including micro-fractures) on the M5 and M50... both of which appear to have a different anchoring for the interior plate that the Tripod Mount is comprised of. The M5 and the M50 appear to share the same design structure on the base.
.
The M6 design varies in a manner from the M5 and M50 - and I've routinely applied what could be described as "brute force" when screwing down the mounting plate to the M6 so that it doesn't shift at all. The original EOS M (Mk1) has what appears to be an all-metal body.
I wouldn't support the weight of any of those big lenses by the body's tripod mount alone (on any of these little bodies). Just a bad practice.
You would logically apply the mount plate to the Lens Ring Foot but the photographs from Peak Design show heavy DSLRs and large lenses being anchored directly by the camera's Tripod Mount. This was an issue that I raised with my comment on Peak Design's YouTube video, which they soon deleted since it implied that their product was capable of damaging cameras. No response from Peak Design was received. I believe my observations to be sound.

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
The EOS R6 II arrives in one of the most competitive parts of the market, facing off against some very capable competition. We think it rises to the challenge.
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
