And before anyone jumps, VR = OIS; mirrorless vs DSLR or Leica vs xyz, does not matter in this context.

No it does not, at least not the part about turning it off until needed.

For the few forum members who may want to maximize IQ from Q2 (and a good reason to use the Auto setting for OIS, rather an On):

Thanks for the reference to Leica's comments. I wonder why they do not recommend turning OIS off on SL 24-90? Is there something different in the compact design of Q's lens?

Has anyone ever seen image degradation on Leica Q/Q2/Q2M because of OIS being on at speeds above 1/60?

Has anyone actually tested to see if IS 'always on' effects the image at higher speeds than 60s?  I assume leica has otherwise they wouldn't offer the option of on or off or auto?
