My concern with the M50+100mm Macro+Adaptor+Ring Light is whether this is going to be a bit difficult to balance properly - front weight issues etc.

I don't know what you mean. That's a bogus issue.

You hold the lens in your left hand, the camera in your right. You hold the lens at the center of gravity. What's to "balance"?

The two cameras are very close to the same weight. The M50 Mark II (the Mark II has eye autofocus) is slightly lighter, but you need to add the EF to M adapter.

Even if you are one of those people who holds the camera in both hands with a heavy lens out front, the lens still weighs the same on either camera.  You should find that the cameras are almost identical in weight, and the center of gravity should be very close to the same place.

I regularly use an M6 Mark II with a lens that weighs 1.25 kg. I promise you, "balance" is a fake issue in general, but especially with the cameras you mentioned. Just get the camera. You'll love it.
