I never thought the Sony camera matching profiles in LR were ever worth a damn.
Having access to all the excellent Nikon profiles is a big boon for color work, for sure.
You're best off just making baseline custom presets by camera and lens combo for Sony and working from there.
I miss that Nikon Rich Tone Portrait for some of my Z8 files, I found it quite tasty on the right subject.

I do agree and I find the color profiles in Lightroom Classic for the Z8 to be better starting points than for the Sony. I still have Z8 images I’m processing from the last four months and I’m always pleasantly surprised at how easily they fall on the page, so to speak. As I look at the body of work I produced this year with the Z8, it has me feeling great vibes toward the Nikon, especially how the images look after very little processing.
