None of the options you listed apply to me unfortunately as I am an M-owner and will/have continued to buy/expand my M-kit.

Since the announcement of R7/R10, I bought a M50m2 and a Sigma 30/f1.4. Why? Because I love the M format and I want to make sure that my M-kit lasts me as long as possible with the best bodies and glass that I can afford and are still available.

I now have m50, m50m2, 15-45, 22, 55-200 and Sigma 30 and 56 and a couple of flashguns/triggers. The 11-22 will complete my purchases. By all accounts the M should serve my needs for the next 3+ years.

Exactly. A valid reason to buy R10 could be to have that faster AF. A valid reason to buy R7 could be to have IBIS. On the other hand: you can not adapt M glass like 11-22 or Sigma 30/56 or Canon 32 on R10 or R7. And it is to be seen how much IBIS would enhance older EF-s lenses (like my EF-s 60mm Macro). And AF of M50ii or M200 is not that bad. So even if I would buy R7 (perhaps to have fun with a RF24-240), the M50ii would stay in my kit for the coming years.
