I did many times with just the M5 and a 35/f2. I also missed some really fantastic opportunities on off-road expeditions in Colorado. Learned that lesson the hard way. I could shoot myself for doing this once in Maui. While I rarely use a 21 in England, for Maui it would have been THE lens. BTW, some of the best stuff I've ever sold was taken with that 21/f33.4 SA on 13,000' passes in Colorado in 1993. Like yourself, my "normal" lens is the 35 however. BTW, try shooting in a car factory sometime with just the 35. You will be backed up against a wall frequently! :-) Two bodies and the 35 and 28 ASPH work for 95+%. 50 Lux for the rest.
