Personally, I think it is a Bold move that Nikon removed the mechanical shutter in the Z9 for their "professional" flagship Z9. IMO they must be very confident this approach doesn't impact professional level performance requirements in any way.
As Sony shooters we know the benefits of "silent shutter" but we've always had the mechanical shutter as a back-up even in the latest A1 body. So the question is what is the user's practical benefit between the two approaches as deployed in both cameras. Does the user give up anything without an included mechanical shutter in the Z9?
