I really prefer shooting with two bodies rather than changing lenses all the time. I use an M4 with a 35, an M3 with a 50, and carry a 90 in a waist pouch (it usually goes on the M3). My choices are: get another body so I can have all three lenses ready to go, or live with the bodies I have and get either a 24 or a 135. The choice is made a bit easier by the fact that I know I would use either of those lenses very little. They're also harder to use than the three I have, and given their relatively high price they're hard to justify. So I'll continue to use my N with its 24 and 180, and maybe spend the money on an M6 or M6HM. My minimal lens system is the one I have - a 35/2 ASPH, a 50/2 and a current version 90/2.8.
