Nikon has essentially integrated their mid/high end cameras into one unified platform. It is safe to say that their processors, architecture, and software driven autofocus is identical between the Z8/Z9.
Nikon's major issue with their competition has been (and remains) their ability to write competent software.
Now that we know the Z8 is essentially a Z9 without a battery pack, it stands to reason that they are focusing heavily on firmware updates and modifications to this new "platform" they've created.
How far do you think they can develop the Z8/Z9 hardware to compete with future releases from Canon, or Sony?
