Why not do the same thing for "free" with a g-code processor that sets all
Z coordinates to some constant. No hardware required, just a few lines of
Python or whatever you like.

Well that's certainly a failure in design / programming by the manufacturer.
I'd have it so that when re-enabling Z the first and only thing it would be
able to do is rehome Z up so it knows where Z is. Even if the manual says the
operator has to power cycle and rehome everything after using Z

Given the safety features of that old BP control, I tend to think that

I've been following this list for a couple of years, hoping that perhaps
