Sports photography isn’t really the *need* area for image stabilisation. You’re generally more concerned with subject movement and speed. It’s nice for framing but not really for the image. Same for a lot of wildlife. I start at 1/500 for sport and wildlife, generally.
For me IS is for dragging the shutter. For low light street photography. Handheld landscapes and architecture. Travel photography.
It’s one of the big reasons I use the SL3 over the M11. And more so the X2D over either. When you can reliably handhold 100MP at close to 1/2 a second a whole bunch of creative possibilities open up. Pushing the camera against a tree and I’m working in multiple seconds easily.
I’d give up the rear screen on an M happily if I could have IBIS.

Absolutely this! Not sure what has IBIS to do with a 35mm lens shot at 1/350, really. But if one whats to prove something, then yes....
40-60 Mpx without IBIS - good luck with this, but not for me!
L.E. Have shot Olympus m4/3 bodies at 1 second, hand held, that opens up new possibilities, indeed!
