Right, however the Tamron 50-400 weighs 1155 g vs 580 g (Z-mount 70-300).
In any case, I take no responsibility if Nikon stupidly insists on making DX bodies without IBIS

The lightest way to zoom to 400 is the Z 28-400mm. It’s half the weight of the 100-400Z and it’s a solid lens, even at 400mm. Plus it’s very compact when retracted.
But in my experience the lens to get is the Tamron 50-400 F4.5-6.3. It’s significantly smaller than the Z 100-400 and 70-200 2.8 (plus TC). It’s shorter, narrower and almost 1lb lighter. It also gives you that range down to 50mm. So now I often just pair it with a small wide zoom or even just the 26mm pancake. It’s both a little faster at 400mm and a little sharper than the 28-400. ...Show more →
Alas the 50-400 is 1.5" shorter and only 0.6 lbs lighter than the 100-400. I will stick with the Tammy 70-300 for now, and be on the lookout for a well priced 28-400.
