> I'm a firm believer that the transition to mirrorless needs a new mount

So the new Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras have a 'Z' mount and the FTZ mount adaptor lets you use F-mount lenses on a Z-mount camera.

> I get that pros want to re-use old lenses

I haven't yet had to buy a new lens to use my Z-series mirrorless, and probably wont while I'm still using it in conjunction with my F-mount D850

Yes, exactly this too. The shorter flange distance of mirrorless makes adapters pretty trivial. All the more reason to use a new mount.

Sold to me. I have an F, an F2, and a D850, and most f mount lenses will work on all of them.

New lenses don’t have the same build as old ones.
