I don't think imenu deserves two bindings and 'M-g i' is easy enough.

FWIW I use the consult package and bind, as follows:

    (global-set-key (kbd "M-g i") 'consult-imenu)
    (global-set-key (kbd "M-g M-i") 'consult-imenu-multi)

The second allows completion from the imenu of all buffers
in the same project with the same major mode.

Consult itself doesn't bind these commands but suggests
'M-g 'i and 'M-g I' (capital i).
