congrat....!

so what is the risk of buying discontinued system?

When the camera and lens suddenly broke or malfunction on middle of the road, the warranty is no more and trouble on seeking replacement parts. You will waste your time and money.

Yeah, so if you accept the risk gratefully, you still can make great photos from using discontinued system!

Oh, and...don't forget to install Magic Latern to greatly power up your little M buddy!

Canon refurbished products normally come with a one-year warranty. I'm guessing that was the case here. If so, the only real risk is not having great resale value, but honestly, that's true of most cameras anyway, discontinued or not.

To the OP: enjoy the camera, and I definitely agree you should get the 22 f/2. That lens is what the M system is all about: bang for the buck and size.
