When I went mirrorless, I started with a Z6 and a Z7.
I now own both Z9 and kept a Z6, which I use mostly for astrophotography or low light indoors. I tested the Z6Ii directly against the Z6 and despite other claims here, other than a few clicks faster FPS, could not discern enough difference to upgrade. I’m waiting on the Z6IIi to see if I want to upgrade.
The Z9 took me to places I’ve never been with the ease of shooting action. And it has been fun to learn new techniques and an almost entirely new mindset about autofocus. I shoot mostly sports and BIF. I now use my Z9 for just about everything, including Astro. The only drawback is size and weight. The Z9 is mostly a budget decision.
I see you have a 150-600, so you are obviously shooting some wildlife or action sport. I left a D7200 behind for the D500 as my interest in action grew.
You will be fine with a refurbed Z6 II or Z7II. Both will be a tremendous upgrade. Get a 24-120 f4 lens rather than 24-70 and use the FTZII for the Tamron and you will be covered thru 24-600. Depending on your budget, you might find a 100-400 with a TC to be a more than adequate replacement for the Tamaron and save weight. I also use a 500 PF but Native Z lenses are remarkable performers on Z cameras.
Good luck! Oh, and you might try renting first to explore your options. It turned me away from a Sony A1, just because of the feel and menu system.

That is kinda my thought too on the lens. I have the 18-140 and the 150-600 now. I will probably go ahead and order the 24-120 along with the body.
