Interesting. I've sometimes tried this, just taking the XE-1 with an
EBC 18mm to things like "big birthday" parties to help stay
inconspicuous. I've almost always been a bit disappointed, and found
myself missing the 18-55. The extra light and sharpness of the prime
always pays off well in some shots, of course.

This is the classic "Aunt Agda" approach. One camera, one lense, one
family event and one auntie event photographer. Her camera and lense are
usually glued together though... AA usually gives the most bang for the
buck (or cake), and the couple can make that downpayment for the cradle
day one! :-)

I know what you mean, but unlike the OP I'm not a commercial photographer.

I use the EOS-M with the 22/2.0 as a compact as it slides into the
pocket easier than most premium compacts, like the Fuji X100 series...

Oh agreed, very nice! Available here for £400 with an 18-55 and the
22/2.0 so pretty good value.

But my last SLR was an OM2 so I don't have any nice Canon lenses to go
with it! I have a humble G10 and an even humbler Ixus 850 IS which,
given their age and limitations, still acquit themselves well. I will in
fact be using the G10 as the lead engineer on a forensic investigation
in a couple of weeks (but I'm not going to explain why).
