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
the longer focal length requires more accuracy - use the mk2
The M50II catches up eyes being smaller in the frame (it does this even better than the M6II). That might be a reason to put the more telephoto on the mkI and the wider angle on the mkII.
For me the M6II + 32mm are a problem sometimes with subject tracking when subjects are smaller in the frame. (I'm switching to R5 + 50mm Art in these cases, but M50II + Sigma 30mm is a whole lot more compact....). If you use single point AF and do the tracing yourself it might be a different story as this is reported to work better.
A very nice way to solve the dilemma is upgrading the mkI to another mkII. 620 euro only, viewfinder included. That's a bargain.....
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.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
