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

The focusing on the M50m2 is very impressive and better than the m50 - it will be put to the test in a wedding I am shooting on 18th June. The dilemma now is which camera (m50 or m50m2) will have the Sigma 56 and which one,  the Sigma 30

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.
