You can flash XT1789-05 stock to an XT1789-04 to get Android 9 Pie. From what I can tell there are no negative side effects, might have to manually configure APN

The Verizon Z2 Force (for the 5G Moto Mod) and International variants got Android 9. You can flash a hybrid official Android 9 firmware (done by flashing specific parts of the newest available Android 8 firmware and parts of the Android 9 update in a specific order to get it to work. I flashed both my Sprint Moto Z2 Force phones to Android 9 as soon as the instructions came out how to do it on the XDA Developers forums like a year or so ago.
