Nikon shooter here.
Instead of getting a Z9, I'd recommend the Z6II off the boards here and spending that $3500+ difference on the 24-70/2.8S and maybe try to squeeze in a 50/1.2S if possible from here. And sell the 24-70/2.8G/E.
Once I got my 24-70/2.8S, I sold both my 2.8G + 2.8E VR as the 2.8S had much better edges and corners.
While the Z9 is better than the Z6II, if you have a D850, it's as good as the Z9 if not a tiny bit better in extremely dark situations (think evening reception where the only lights are from the candles on tables and uplighting by walls... if video/DJ/you have some constant LEDs up, then Z9 works).
With that said, the Z9 offers a multitude of customization with three FN buttons on the front, and some new customizable focus areas with the newest update.
And yes, pretty much all Z glass here with few exceptions, and that's the 24/1.4G, 58/1.4G, 105/1.4E, and 200/2G VRII that I still use with my D850. I have the 14-24/2.8S, 24-70/2.8S, 70-200/2.8S, 105/2.8S Macro, 50/1.2S, 24/1.8S, and they're all better than their F-mount equivalents without question. Even my 24-70/4S was sharper than my G/E F-mount versions.
