Moving from F mount to Z mount seems to have little benefit apart from the removal of the FTZ adapter from the equation. The new Z series lenses when you look at the physical design seem to be little more than a F lens with a built on FTZ adapter. I guess some of this is driven by lens physics but with all the exotic lens glass mixes some physically smaller lenses would be great. This has been achieved with the newer Z series telephotos and long zooms. My Z series 100-400 lens is a smaller beast but still very heavy.
I think the way the technology is going the big advances will come with things like better electronics and global shutter to replace the current mechanical and electronic shutters. This will probably make the cameras a little lighter but no less bulky as extra battery power will be needed.
