Specifically, can the Elmarit-M 21mm f/2.8 ASPH and 24mm f/2.8 ASPH be mounted on the M5? Or will the back end of these lenses hit the camera's metering arm?

According to Leica they will both mount and meter with the M5.

I have used the 24mm Elmarit-M ASPH on my M5 and the combination works fine.

No problem with the M5 + 2,8/21 ASPH.
