Colin, wasn't there a firmware upgrade for the AF issues of M3? I sold mine so I can't check.

No.  There were other firmware bugs besides AF that also were never addressed.

I remember an update for the body and 1 for EF-S 55-250MM STM.

There were updates specifically for the 55-250 STM and EF-M 28mm macro.  The problems with previous EF lenses were never addressed.

I had no issues with my 100-400mm Mk1.

The problem was a bit situational.  If the lens started out somewhat close to being in focus, the M3 could focus reasonably well.  If the lens started out very far out of focus, the M3 would often just get lost and give up.  While the original M was slower in absolute terms, it was much more consistent and reliable.  Basically, a case of the tortoise and the hare.
