Do you think that over ISO 5000 the picture will start being noisy?
Noise is a user tolerance thing so each person may be different. IMO ISO 1600 is about as far as I would go.
That was the world before DxO. If you're willing to shoot RAW and use DxO Deep Prime with DxO PureRaw or PhotoLab 5, you can easily go to ISO 6400 and with careful processing even beyond that to ISO 8000-16000.

How well does it work for astro/stars ? Genuine question - I have never used it. Concern is that it may "remove" smaller stars mistaking them for noise ?
If you're interested in taking pictures like the ones you posted, the methods or techniques vary only slightly, depending on the lens used. The same camera settings
Just one more question: how can I disable the AF and set the focus to infinite with the 11-22 or 32mm?
Don't use "infinity" on any lens, EF-M or otherwise. Even the best MF lens is unlikely to have an infinity mark or hard stop that is accurate enough for stars.
Use Live View, set the screen to maximum magnification (10x ?) and manually focus on a bright star trying to get the star as sharp (small & pinpoint-ish) as possible. Once that is done. make sure you don't touch the focus ring again.
Some lens have a specific leverage but EF-Ms don't (the 32mm has but I don't know what it serves..)
Not sure what you mean by this ? Are you referring to switches built in to the lenses ?
