The selection of telezooms is obviously still very limited with no native offering for Z mount other than the expensive 70-200/2.8. Still, if your main intention is to get a tele zoom and you don't plan any other use with it, I'd rule out the Z 24-200. I have not handled the lens myself, yet, but super zooms typically do not show their peak performance at the long end.
The Nikkor would be the safe bet in terms of compatibility.
On paper, the Tamron 70-210 VC is an attractive lens, but I can not comment on its quality.
If you liked the 70-300 VC, another option could be to look for the upgraded model, that was sold in Japan only (A030). Unlike the A005 model, the newer lens can be upgraded to be compatible with the FTZ.

Last I heard it's possible to also adapt Canon EF lenses to Z. It's mighty irony but in all seriousness, I can't know how good the AF operation is with this combo.

I had a rather ugly experience using adapters and wouldn't recommend it.
If you insist on doing so to have the ultimate glass, Canon 70-200f4 is as good as a lens could be, but again I don't recommend it on Nikon

The Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L USM is the nicest rendering lens of its kind. The Nikkor 70-200mm f4 VR is sharper and renders very nicely, nicer than the Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L IS USM. So, that is one to look at.
I have no idea why/how you had a rather ugly experience "using adapters", but my experience is very different. It is fine to adapt AF lenses (EF on EOS M in my case) or MF lenses (on EOS 450D and 6D in my case).

Don't hold your breath, though..
