the OP asked for the entire Z mount lineup to have it. no manufacturer has that.
yes, some manufacturers have specific lenses with an integrated foot - but none make it universal on an entire line up

Olympus has an ARCA-Swiss dovetail on the foot of all four of its long telephotos 300mm, 100-400mm, 150-400mm and 150-600mm. While Olympus isn't one of the "Big 3", it has historically the most innovative manufacturer.
Until the Arca foot is standard issue, improvisation saves the day. Here’s the Nikon (or substitute Canon, Sony, etc..) lens foot with the least expensive Arca substitute, the Benro PL100. I swap this foot between lenses that I might use on the gimbal rail. The Manfrotto base is easy on, easy off on camera lens or body when monopod or ball head is needed….

FWIW, I've had very good luck with Desmond lens plates at a fraction of the cost of some of the other brands. They fit my RRS Arca Swiss clamps very nicely and are well machined.
