Re: Your thoughts on the M6ii + 28mm f3.5 macro?

I have the EF-M 28mm f/3.5 macro and I find myself using it all the time!

It's amazing for "macro" shots, flower shots, walk around shots but I find myself using it most frequently to take close up pictures of items, sometimes to document (i.e. disassembling something on the car) or when posting pics of items to sell, etc.

It's super sharp, small, the built-in ring light is very useful and I agree with others that it's hard to find an equivalent for any of the other camera systems (mirrorless or not).

The lens is basically glued to my M2.

If you want a dedicated macro lens and want / need absolute best quality, I think Tamron 90mm (EF) or the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 (EF) should be on your list.  For "good enough" the 28mm f/3.5 really punches well about its weight.
