There is no upgrade path from M to R.
not needed.
there would also be no upgrade path from an APS-C sensored EOS R model with crop-only RF lenses to FF EOS R models and FF lenses. Buying FF lenses for crop cameras or using crop lenses on FF sensor cameras is no "upgrade path" it is a stop gap measure at best.
Reality is: going from crop to FF, requires buying new, different, larger, more expensive gear to utilize FF potential.
Personally i would rather want to upgrade from an inexpensive EOS M set to FF compared to 1. first sinking substantial money into "crop EOS R camera" plus "crop RF-S" lenses" and then 2. spend a lot more money again to buy into FF EOS R lineup.
Either crop gear for "small, inexpensive and somewhat limited photographic capabilities". or FF gear with "more photographic capabilities (depending on use case) , bigger size and bigger price.
Nobody would ask for an "upgrade path" from Fuji C (APS-C) to Fuji GFX or for Panasonic mFT to upcoming Panasonic FF gear (SR-1, SR-2). Only a few of the people who once bought Canon EF lenses for their crop cameras because "one day they might eventually switch to FF" (* have this strange notion of an "upgrade path".
(* i did that too. but i realized since that the "upgrade path" is not really one.
