I don't have a Z6 (yet), but regarding plates, I wonder if the Breakthrough Photography 40mm plate would work with FTZ adapter, I have one sitting around and always thought it might be good for a small body...

The bottom of the Z6 is 30mm deep, with the FTZ leaving a small gap of a few millimeters. This one might be a bit too large (specs say 40x38mm) to leave on the body while attaching the FTZ, I guess. Can't really say without trying, of course. But it's good to see more options emerging, so thanks for posting!

One problem might be the "lip" the Breakthrough plate has on the side where it attaches to the body, or is that removable?

EDIT: Ah, found the answer to my own question, the lip is removable - see https://breakthrough.photography/products/universal-arca-plate?variant=12344961630250

Please post your experience with the plate once you get the Z6-thanks!!
