The rest of your gear
4

What is the rest of your photo gear?  You mentioned that your "1st system being around the EF mount".  Does that mean that you are still shooting with Canon DSLRs, or are you using RF mount mirrorless and adapting EF glass?  If you are still shooting with DSLRs, I see that as a much bigger long term issue.  DSLRs are dead and Canon is rapidly discontinuing EF lenses.

If you are retired and the M6 II would be your last camera purchase, then go for it and supplement your EF kit.  If you envision an extensive future of camera purchases, that EF gear needs to be rationalized, especially if it is EF DSLRs.  Are you shooting with a 5D IV?  The EOS R would give you the same image quality in a body that is barely bigger than a T8i Rebel.  The RP is even smaller and lighter than that Rebel.

The M6 II looks miniscule next to a DSLR, but the difference is much less dramatic compared to the something like the RP.  If your EF kit became smaller and lighter, would you still need something like the M6 II?
