Upgrading from d7000

I realize there are other posts about this but wanted to be specific. I started shooting sports with a gifted d7000 this spring. I bought a used Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70–200mm f/2.8G ED VR and have had good results. The main problem seems to be with the autofocus, no matter what I tweak (back button focus, one point vs 9, etc). I like the price and the DX crop of the z50II (to continue to use my current lens with the adapter rather than getting a longer lens), but I am worried about the lack of IBIS (for video) and would prefer the low light performance of an FX body. But, I don’t know if I really need to worry about these limitations.

Advice on new gear

I started shooting kid’s sports this spring. Using a Nikon D7000 I was given and a Nikon AF-S 70–200mm f/2.8G VR I that I purchased used. I can get good photos, but many focus on the background, no matter what tweaks I make to the settings (using the back button to focus, using Af-C, single point vs 9 point, etc, etc). I’d like to upgrade the body for better autofocus, but cannot decide if I want the less expensive Nikon Z50 II (DX crop to keep using the 70-200) or go with a Nikon Z6 III (FX for low light and a better body build). Any advice, staying with Nikon.
