Add the 32/1.4, 56/1.4, and 18-150 to your travel kit along with the 11-22, 22/2. If your 55-250 still fits, carry it also - it will be especially helpful when you want that extra 100mm on the long end. side note: if your 55-250 is a good copy, keep it and don't worry about the EF-M 55-200. This kit of 3 primes & 3 zooms is quite good and should serve you quite well for a number of years.

Is there any particular need to have 2 lenses covering 55-150?

3 primes (22/2, 32/1.4 and 56/1.4) + 2 zooms (11-22 and 18-150) should cover 99% of my need.

Not really. The main reason to keep the 55-250 is for the additional reach. For travel the 18-150 is perfect, at least for me. My 18-150 is better than the 15-45 & 55-200 (both sold)

3 primes & 2 zooms will serve you well - great kit.

Thanks. I am quite surprised that a 18-150 can outperform a 55-200.

I'm not sure about that. In their common range (55-150) my 55-200mm is better than the 18-150mm. But the 18-150mm is still a good lens with a versatile range.

(And you should take into account that there can be copy variations.)
