if it were me, I'd migrate toward a new travel kit: M50, 11-22, 32, R8 + Rf 24-105 (non L)

My travel kit will be M6II, 11-22, 32, R8 + RF 24-105 F4L

Why have 2 systems?

I was thinking of the M50 + 11-22 + 22/2 + 32/1.4 + 56/1.4 + 18-150 (all EFM). Total weight 1.53 kgs.

I'd get the 400gm 16/1.4 for the wide end if I had the weight to spare.

you then have all that glass invested in one body - think about what happens if you lose that body

I buy another body or get a spare now, while they are still available.

hmm, shell out more and more for technology that is dated...

and your m50 can't do this

Which lenses is he using here?

Two VERY expensive lenses with very fast USM motors. A very different class then the smaller lenses with slower STM motors.

yes, but RF 100-400 does BIF -- your M doesn't do well

Of course, you cannot compare a FF equipped with fast, expensive, heavy glass with a much poorer APSC camera. The question is do I need this level of performance?

Based on what you have written until now, I very much doubt that you do.

RF 35 and 85 and 24-105 stm have IS and are not expensive

Besides if I move to the RF system, I'd have to either shell out for expensive RF glass or adapt old and heavy EF glass. RF-S is unlikely to get too much attention from Canon.

Correct.

I don't shoot sports. I rarely shoot in very low light. Most of my shooting is done on holidays visiting museums, hiking, indoor dinner parties, etc. For this use, a few fast primes (24/2, 50/2, and 80/1.4 in FF equivalent) and light zooms (16-35/4.5, 28-80/4.5, and 70-300/5.6 in FF equivalent) are adequate.

I am just wondering. In what situations was your current system not good enough to take the photos you wanted?

the issue is that the op has to chase new money into older technology that is being sunset

The R8 will crush the ops technology, just as your R6II  - otherwise, why did you get R6II
