I miss this little thing, so my new year's resolution is get another and this time is silver!.

I need a grip though, currently have the thumbs up. Or should I get one of this?

I think it comes down to how much tripod work you will do. On my D850 I do a lot of landscape and macro work. It is most frequently on a tripod and the RRS L bracket is a permanent fixture. With my Q I rarely put it on a tripod and find the Thumbs up indispensible for a better grip when hand holding.

I found a thumb grip essential on the CL, but a bit ungainly on the Q and I’ve been happy just using the built in thumb rest. Is there good forward grip that doesn’t cover the battery hatch?

There are half cases that have the forward grip and don't cover the battery hatch such as the Lim's case, only drawback is that it adds about 10mm to the base of camera. It also provides a tripod attachment.

the I use the Leica Q Protector case for mine and added the Flipbac grip to the right side.  I have the Thumbs Up attached as well. This combination works well for me. Amazon sells both case and the grip. In addition, I use a Gordy's padded wrist strap and keep the camera in a shoulder bag until needed.

I find the combo of Thumbs Up and Arte de Mano half case with grip to be like a pair of old gloves. Fits perfect every time I pick up the camera. 

Yes, this is a spectacularly good combination. I tried many other cases before settling on these

To quote from one of the Indiana Jones movies, “You chose well.” Sorry, I cannot recall exactly which one. The RRS quick connect Arca-Swiss mount is also a winner.
