I understand you wish to use C-z as prefix for more functions, is it?
Is that the only key?
Maybe you are always on the US keyboard, but I am not. I travel in
development countries and may use Norwegian, German, Croatia or US and
US-like keyboards, and such keyboards do not have always Z and Y on
same place, they are exchangeable. It is not really handy and
practical to remember and get used to it, especially for people using
multiple computers.
Why not repurpose C-0 to C-9 as that could be anyway used with C-u 9
for example, and then C-0 to C-9 could become various prefix keys.
C-0 0 or/and C-0 C-0 could become same as what is now C-0 while
keeping all those C-0 to C-9 as various prefix keys.
