I'll probably only stick to 3 lenses for my M5. I already have two of them but I'm torn on the 3rd one. Currently, my M kit is composed of:

M5
Sigma 16mm 1.4
Canon 32mm 1.4
Canon 50mm 1.8 STM (with adapter)

I want a 50mm-ish 1.4 lens and while the Sigma 56mm sounds great, I'm more inclined to get the Canon EF 50mm 1.4 because it is cheaper and I can (still/eventually) use it on my FF DSLR and my film SLR camera.

you could also adapt your existing Canon EF 35mm F2 IS USM — very good lens

you might have done so before deciding to get the EF-M 32 1.4

thank you for the suggestion.  I did start with the 35/2 IS adapted to the M5 but I wanted the 35mm FL too so I just kept that lens on the 6D2.  it's this forum's fault that I got the 32mm 1.4 haha!

I'm currently running 4 lenses on two bodies because I leave the EF 50mm STM (adapted or not) at home.

M5
Sigma 16mm f/1.4 (25mm equivalent)
Canon 32mm f/1.4 (51mm equivalent)

6D2
Canon 35mm f/2 IS
Canon 100mm f/2.8L IS

so it's like i have the 24, 35, 50 & 100 setup
