Re: Moving from Canon M system

To move forward from paralysis mode ...
sell all your EF/EFS gear, keeping only that which you currently use with the M adapter, such as the 50 f/1.4. Your M kit should serve you well for the short term, giving you plenty of time to see how the R system develops. You may discover the new R8, once available, will meet your size requirements as well as being full frame.

I worked out that a hypothetical R8 kit would weigh in at about 2650 gms.
Canon R8 460 gms
Canon RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM 390 gms
Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM 635 gms
Canon RF 24mm F1.8 270 gms
Canon RF 85mm F2 IS 500 gms
Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM 395 gms

Combining a nice M kit with a full frame R, adding glass as you need it, is not a bad way to go and actually gives you the best of two worlds.

Why have two systems?
