Is EF-M mount worth investing for a new user

I've had lots of various micro four thirds cameras and lenses these last few years. I sold them all to swap back to a bridge camera. However I do miss the fun of having different lenses and having a camera that I can make as versatile as I'd like. I quite fancy trying an APS-C sized sensor and would hope it will be an upgrade on previous cameras. I do value having a light package which is why I had m43.

Is the Canon EF-M still going strong?

Are there any good used older models worth a look? Ideally I want something cheap and lightweight. Viewfinder isn't massively important to me, but I did like a flip screen over a tilt screen, but not essential.

Going strong can be interpreted in multiple ways. There has been very little in the way of new releases in the last few years. Canon is clearly focusing on their newer RF mount, including APS-C bodies and lenses as of recently. However, as far as anyone can tell, some EOS M models are still selling well (namely, the M200 and M50I/II), and they will probably continue to sell for at least some years into the future.

My advice would be, if the system already has everything you would need, go ahead and buy into it. They are the best combination of quality/cost, AF performance, and small size in APS-C in my opinion. If the system is lacking something you need or think you may need in the future, think twice. Oh, and if you decide you want the M6II, don't wait too long to pull the trigger. M6II is the top EOS M body and has a tilt screen but no built-in viewfinder (though you can purchase an add-on one) but is already being discontinued in some markets.
