But, counterpoints. I have a Nikon Z/fc that doesn't have one, and it's occasionally a pain, but for the most part I'm glad there's zero chance when I take a picture somewhere I need to be discreet that I forgot and let the built-in flash go off. (Though ask me about the Z/fc's green focus assist light. :sigh: )
ISOs go so high on these things without super-insane drop-off I don't miss it much. And I have a dedicated flash (that I rarely use) for when I really need one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Depends on usage as always. Lots of indoor, high-res, don't mind that the flash isn't bounced, don't want to carry around a dedicated flash, this ain't for you. 😉 But not having one isn't as bad as it was in the film days.
you can't have everything if you want portable and cheap.
You could dream of a pocket size full frame camera with F1.4 10mm-1000mm pancake lens with fancy flash and a price tag of 399$. And...just keep it in your dreams : )

Camera snobs are the absolute worst.
1) Is it worth it to get this Z lens to replace what comes w/ this bundle?

2) I've owned a DSLR and I want to get back into photography. But also want something portable / easy to carry. I appreciate the images my iPhone captures but want a more traditional camera for "every day" type use. Is this Z30 a good re-entry point?
If you were to buy this and stick to APS-C lenses, I'd heavily suggest you buy Viltrox lenses. These ones they released this past year are some of the best for APS-C ever. Check out YouTube reviews: https://viltrox.com/collections/z-mount

You have an idea of what this is and who it best serves and you don't even own it - why should anyone listen to you?
Anecdotally, you can read above that I own a ton of cameras... I don't care it has no viewfinder. I'm not saying that to convince you don't need it, only that is possible to fully enjoy without it.
