If the 24 mm has an image circle wide enough to be used with a tilt/shift adapter, personally I would keep it, especially considering the money you will be able to get for it, i.e., not worth selling if it does the job, even if only for learning purposes.
As to the 180 mm, that is a great lens, just wondering whether it is up to standards these days with newer lenses for the Z-mount available.
To be very honest, personally I will not likely change some of the older lenses in my arsenal either, be it that they are Canon lenses in my case. I still own 3 TS-Es (17L, 24L II, 135L Macro), and I just love working with those. I actually still want to get the missing ones from the TS-E series to be very honest. With some lenses it is just the way they render, even if they are no longer the sharpest ones on the block with the new stuff coming out for the RF-series. And I don't mind MF with TS-E lenses, as the focusing point is rather important when it comes to composition, especially when using tilt. And since TS requires a deliberate setup, generally speaking, I do not need AF with TS.
For now I will keep therefore, amongst others, my 180L Macro. Its rendering is magical to me. Similarly, I will keep my 135L for quite some time to come, and my 24L II for that matter, and of course my TS-Es
