I'd rather just buy 1st party lenses and not have a bunch of what ifs looming on functionality. No offense I trust legal speculation on forums about as much as I do anything on forums. There is no guarantee that the lenses won't get bricked in some way.
Is there a guarantee? No. But of course, you could roll back any firmware that were to do that...and also, the chances are VERY, VERY low. Because the bad will that would create would be astronomical, and Nikon is not in a position to do that. I know that if Nikon suddenly decided to make several of my lenses not function, I would dump my Nikon gear and move back to Sony or Canon, because that's a hostile action towards its own users. But I don't think that is something I have to worry about.

You should buy the 75 1.2 and post up some pics then
For me, the potential risk isn't worth it, having had one of my F-mount Tamron lenses get bricked a while back due to incompatibility of lens and body firmware.
Highly recommend the K&F 1600mah ENEL25 batteries. Compared to the stock 1120mah battery, I've noticed a significant battery life increase with the K&F, plus the USB-C dual charger works well (pretty much the same design as my Enegon ENEL15 charger).

Why does it have to be the 75? I have quite a bit of Viltrox glass:
16mm f/1.8, 14mm f/4, 9mm f/2.8, 25mm f/1.7, 56mm f/1.7, 85mm f/2 EVO.

I seriously doubt that the usable capacity is more at all, especially some miraculous amount like almost 50% more.
Overlay the discharge curves or it didn't happen.
It’s hard to believe a battery that has 43% more mah over stock lasts longer? I was basically at one bar (red) after about 30 mins of use on my Z30. I am about one bar down with the same usage on my z50ii. I don’t know where you’re getting 50%, but amazon has decent reviews on them and I’m guessing some people on the forum use them.
