Thanks, guys.
I am keeping the M system. I am still in 2 minds about having two systems (aka RF or RF-S).
I will definitely add 32/1.4 and Sigma 56/1.4, and maybe the R10 + 18-150.
I hope this is the correct Sigma version (my first 3rd party lens)

Yes that's it.
I thought you already owned the 32mm? You list it as one of your current lenses in the first post.
But I would wait with the R10.
I have decided to wait on the R10.
I don't have the 32/1.4, but I was about to get it before analysis-paralysis got hold of me. I worried about what would happen to the M system since Canon has stopped adding more bodies and lenses. I was wondering if investing more in M system lenses such as the 32mm f/1.4 (or the Sigma 30/1.4, 56/1.4, 16/1.4) makes any sense.
I see the future of photography as mobile cameras replacing all the kit lens (aka lenses slower than F/4) compact sensor (smaller than FF) systems. Hence the RF mount might suffer in the long term.
What about the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN? It could be useful when my 11-12 does not have enough light.
The Sigma 16 is also a fantastic lens, but maybe more for special occasions. It is larger and heavier than the other EF-M lenses. But it is a great lens especially for parties, family gatherings and environmental portraits. You have to decide for yourself if you need it.
Should I replace my 55-250 EF-S STM lens with the EF-M equivalent and ditch the adapter?
Also a difficult question. I own both. My copy of the 55-200mm is great from 55 - 130mm. Above that it is a slightly softer, but usable. My EF-S lens is better at the long end. And overall I would say the Ef-S lens is slightly better. But then comes the size and weight. The EF-M is so small and light and needs no adapter. Tough decision.
Should I get the Canon 32mm f/1.4 or get this trinity from Sigma?

You are asking difficult questions. 😃
I own the Sigma 16, the Canon 32 and the Sigma 56. And I am very happy with that. Many M system owners would say that the Canon 32mm is a must have lens. And it is one of the best 50mm (ff equivalent) lenses Canon has ever made. The Canon is slightly sharper, has "near macro" and is smaller. Some claim the Sigma has softer bokeh. But both are great lenses.

FYI, on the weight front, I am currently travelling with the Canon M50, 11-22, 22/2, 15-45, EF-S 55-250, and 50/1.4 with an adapter in a sling bag.
If you are not using the long end very much, I would replace the EF-S 55-250 with the EF-M 55-200 (or EF-M 18-150mm?). And if you also replace the 50mm with the Sigma 56, you don't need to carry the adapter. Sorry, but I can't take the decisions for you. 😉
The 56/1.4 and 32/1.4 could fit where my 50/1.4 (with adapter) is in my bag. That only leaves me to make room for the 16/1.4, which is not a small lens (3"D x 4"L).
For travel (with the M50) I would keep the 11-22, 22 and add the 18-150 and 56 1.4. Keep the 15-45 as backup (no significant resale value and very useful as ultra light standard zoom) and get rid of the rest. The 18-150 will cover most of your travel photography needs and the 22 and 56 will be there for you when the light goes down or for a nice portrait. That’s a very lightweight and powerful travel kit.
