First of all, congrats to the expected newborn :-)!

Be well prepared for really wide variety of opinions here. Each of us projects our own needs and preferences into our posts. Then you have to pick what do you feel suits you the best.

As you are saying that budget is not too much to concern, I would go for R6 mkII + RF 50/1.2 as for the start. If 50mm is your go to lens then 50mm f/1.2 lens is a premium and it gives so different images when shooting wide opened that I think it is worth it. Expect some learning curve both with a camera and the lens, so I'd not hesitate to buy the gear asap to have some time to adopt.

As for 15x21cm prints all the rest STM primes will do well. It is just needed to get used to their optical attributes to use the best of them.
