Or is this just one of the disadvantages of a shutterless camera?

If you mean that cameras with mechanical shutters would NEVER have this then you are wrong. You can get this sort of effect with any camera, even one with mechanical shutter. It is caused by the light and depending on the shutter speed, captured by the camera.

No, it would happen with a camera with mechanical shutter, but the effect is so blurred that hardly you can notice it even when looking carefully. The mechanical shutter, specially in lower speeds makes it blurred without hard edges. Mechanical shutter is not as accurate as electronic shutter which helps in this case to make it less noticeable. I did a side by side comparison some time ago here and returned my Z9 because of that.

but I think the best solution now is to use the new High-Frequency Flicker Reduction which came with recent upgrade? I think this is a very common scenario, when the subject has led backlit and you can enable it always in this sort of scenarios? I am really looking for this issue to get resolved and buy Z9 again.

you wrote quite a lot about your sony overheating. Does all your cameras have problems?
