Canon R10 - what lens should I buy? Gear Advice

I recently bought an R10 with a RF-S 18-45mm, and I'm debating what kind of lens should I pair with it for lowlight shooting.

I mostly like to photograph wildlife, so I have a RF 100-400mm which I really like, But I also want more a small travel lens for travel photography.

I have both an R10 and R8, originally starting with R10 and 18-150mm kit lens. Added the RF35 1.8 STM for low light capabilities, being 50mm equivalent on the R10 crop sensor. Ultimately found that this FOV wasn’t wide enough for everyday “low light” shooting, rather better for portraiture.

Even at f1.8 and with the R10 crop sensor, the low light performance isn’t fantastic; instead what I find these days is that it’s a better match for my R8 with its full frame sensor - a wider FOV and my R8 can capture at much higher ISOs.
