I think Nikon are concentrating on the core, short to medium lenses for good reason... The sensor will be optimised for the new and apparently very complex designs of the Z mount lenses, to get the full 5 stop benefit from the sensor IS the Z mount lenses are required.
Until Birna and others get their hands on production models we won't know how well the sensor optimisation for the Z mount works with F mount lenses. It could be that some work well, others less well.
Many are relishing the prospect of using old, classic lenses with the IS but what they might gain with the IS and zoom viewfinder they may well loose in outright lack of IQ due to the optimisation of the sensor.
I wouldn't make too many plans about the choice of F or Z lenses for now, although It would probably make sense to get at least one Z mount prime to see how it compares in real world use with the F on the D850, effectively the same sensor.
