The problem for Leica is that in order to acquirer new customers it would be nice if they are young too. Can’t build a business on a dying customer base. And I am not asking for something „strange“ The M3 > M7 all have a X Flash Port. The new Sl3 and Sl3s come with a „timecode“ port that looks like a X port. And I don’t care where it’s located! I would also buy a Grip if there where one with a X-port, but there isn’t. That’s why I think that the next camera should have one. Or another Auxiliary that provides this. I don’t mind if the camera as an integrated 2,4 ghz remote flash implemented that can trigger external flashes. There are many ways to implement this without „older people“ noticing. Or am I to young? 

It would be great for them to get young consumers. I was about 30 when I bought my first Leica, an M6.

 However, given the huge prices things are reaching, I don’t think I’ve met more than a tiny handful of young people with that level of disposable income. 
 

Personally, in your position I would buy a pre owned SL for flash work. It will do the job better.

I work with the Sl2-S the Q3 and other cameras.  (M240P) 

But I would love to do the images with the M11M.

And I shoot with flash with the camera, but Its cumbersome. 

I have to fight much more for the images than it is necessary.  

I have done the same shoot with the M240P and it's no problem because the camera has a grip with a X sync. 

So I was looking if there are other portrait enthusiast that like to have this feature. But I understand that its 

my personal challenge and I will find a way.

That's what you buy a Leica for.
