Problem with the advice of “buy best you can afford” is that when someone can “afford” really high-end cameras, it leads to buying more than most will likely ever utilize. Just my opinion.
Digital cameras are a technology purchase. Buying the best technology you can afford gets equipment that will be relevant for a long time.

Think about it. Does anyone say “don’t buy that iphone, it’s too much phone for you. It has features you’ll never use. Get the flip phone instead.”

Resale on the Z9 and S lenses is pretty good. If the OP wants to walk away, the loss isn’t much different than flipping a watch. But, if the OP pursues photography, the Z9 will be an exceptional camera for many years to come.
