This is kind of what you are after... But it is 6502 not Z80.https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Commander_X16
There's Retro68. It might be able to pull this off. You'd still need all the other pieces, of course.
It's emulating a IBM PC on a cheap micro-controller.

Looks like it emulates a Z80 with 64k and selectable Osbourne, ADM/3A, Hazeltine, or VT52 screen output.
The 8-bit guy is building this:https://www.commanderx16.com/forum/index.php?/home/Which might fit what you are looking for.
Building a 6502 breadboard computer and a graphical 6502 computer emulator. Close to releasing a beta version of the emulator. Some challenges building both the hardware and the emulator at the same time!
Looks like fun! We're building something quite similar to this, but compatible with / inspired by existing 8-bit computers / consoles (Apple II, C64, etc...) Good to see some validation for the space though =)
