SD card write speed, camera buffer, reliability and compatibility in SD card choice for TL2

I want to upgrade my old Panasonic 16GB SD cards that I've been using on my TL2s and relegate them back to my M9P and M9M as these seem to be more selective in card choice and plain 16GB SD cards are harder to source these days.  

I am thinking a minimum of 64GB up to 128GB cards.  The TL2 manual states the UHS II standard is supported.  I don't want the card to limit the camera's ability to take a burst of photos (write speed should be sufficient) but also don't want to needlessly purchase a card with high speed write capability that the camera would not be able to use.  

The Kingston Canvas React Plus was recommended by several members in this thread about cards for the SL2-S but would this be overkill for the TL2?   Kingston's webpage for the card has a comparison of their 3 card lines but unfortunately the TL2 manual does not say how fast the camera can write to the card.  

As an aside, I wouldn't mind buying cards with more potential capability if they would be useful on my other cameras in terms of write speed.  I do take burst photos quite often to capture my doggie and my children in action.  My other cameras include the SL, SL2, M10M and M10R.
