The Z80 itself was "inspired" by the 8080, notably having dual 8080 register sets. It might be regarded as a "clear" (sic) room reimplemention/enhancement of the 8080 given that it was the same 8080 designers who left Intel to found Zilog and create the Z80.
Fascinating, but I'm not sure how these are consistent?
- Based on classic Z80 architecture by Zilog - Inspired by modern RISC designs (ARM, RISC-V, MIPS)

Z80 is CISC. This looks like a MIPS.
Funny enough, there is a 32-bit version of Z80 called Z380.
