R6 and R6mkII are really well build for low light thanks to modern image processing and low megapixels. Still i would have atleast f1.8 or faster lens for low light moments.

also you don't need modern high end camera for lowlight home light situations. Just any older fullframe with fast lens for example Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM.[...]

Wide apertures are nice, till you want to do a group photo at 3 meters distance and people don't want to form a line parallel to the focal plane within the ~40cm of DoF (according to photopills) you get at f/1.8

Yes, indeed.  Fast lenses are not the solutions to all photographic problems.

And incidentally, no one should think that a full-frame sensor will help either.  If you minimize noise with a large lens aperture, you must also accept narrow depth of field.  Both are determined by the lens, not the sensor.  You cannot escape the problem by changing cameras.
