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.
The technology goes fast in cameras. While you can still use a five year old camera, the new one does things that were unimaginable. Also, if you trade in gear to a store, you are getting a 50% haircut. I say buy what you need unless money is no object.
