Looks like you like small cameras and a basic two-lens zoom setup. I can share my experience with the ones you are thinking of and maybe suggest something else as well.
1. A6300 is a great little camera that fixes a lot of the (albeit very minor) issues A6000 has. However, I really think 16-50 does not do the camera justice. I like how tiny it is and how relatively wide it is though. I had the 55-210 in the past and got rid of it at the first chance. It is slow to focus and not really a good performer optically neither. Weight is good though.
2. Eos M5 is a good looking camera IIRC and having a single lens is kinda practical too. However, personally I wouldn't like the 18mm on Canon APS-C compared to 16mm on Sony. I like using that angle when I'm vacationing but that's personal.
3. Rebel T6I is, as you've predicted, probably the best performing one. Again though, I wouldn't like the 18mm on the wide end and I don't really like the small viewfinder neither.
So far, I'd go for the Sony. Even though the lenses are far from perfect, it is a very tiny and capable camera.
4. Here is my other suggestion, have you had a look at Fuji? You can probably get a X-T20 which is relatively in the same price ballpark as the A6300. You will, however, end up with a better kit lens (16-55), even though it's a bit larger. 50-230 performs pretty much similar to Sony's 55-210 too but Fuji has a 55-200 and that lens is an amazing performer for me. Again, a bit heavier though.
5. Sony RX10 series are awesome, have you had a look?
