Waiting for the next new tech is a no win game. The day after the "next big thing" comes out, there are rumors of the next-next big thing. If there are shortcomings from your current gear, identify those shortcomings, the types of photography you engage in and then pick the best tech that meets your needs today. Now, if the Z7iii or some other updated gear had already been announced, then wait but with no firm announcement or real specs announced, it is kind of like waiting for a ghost to come by. If the Z8 doesn't meet your needs, then stick with what you have or find one that does.
A friend once told me this about GAS "Gear Acquisition Syndrome". While his advice was related to guitar gear, it is just as relevant with cameras. "When you think you just have to get the newest shiny thing, wait 6 months to see if you still really want it. If, after a sufficient cooling period you still want it and you can afford it without taking food off the table, buy it."
