it sounds like you have your mind made up to invest more into a dead system

On the contrary, the reason I am vacillating is that the M system is dead (we won't see any more additions), and I was looking for a compact system that offers:

  1. fast primes (22/2, 50/1.4 EF-S)
  2. zoom from 18-300 (FF equivalent) 11-22, 15-45, 55-200

I do not need the extra resolution of a FF sensor but could use some low-light capability. The closest viable option is a kit based on an R10.

Canon EOS R10 + RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM kit
+
Canon RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM (replaces the 11-22)
Canon RF-S 55-210mm F5.0-7.1 IS STM (replaces the EF-S 55-250)
Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM (replaces the EF 50/1.4)
Canon RF 24mm IS STM F1.8 (replaces the 22/2)

optionally
I could add a Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM (165 gms) to total up to 1.8kg. This kit (with the 16mm) would cost me around $3000 minus whatever I can get for my old Canon equipment.

The RF 35mm f/1.8 replaces the EF-M 32/1.4 rather nicely too.

I am in a similar situation as you, but personally don't think it is the time to replace the M6ii yet.  For me to upgrade, Canon ether need to release a smaller version of the R7 or Sony needs to come out with an APSC camera that uses the same sensor as the FX30.

So I suspect I will be keeping the M6ii until the next round of Canon APSC cameras get released in a few years time.
