Yes I have use a back on a V, but was not happy about the vibrations from the shutter.

Presumably you're referring to the seismic-scale vibrations from the barn door auxiliary shutter/mirror slap and not the leaf shutter... As I'm sure you know, shutter pre-release takes care of that - a practical solution if you're working slowly (e.g., when using live view). I've found that shooting portraits makes pre-releasing the auxiliary shutter impractical (subjects react to the initial thwop! and think the picture has been taken), but with the camera mounted on my 3-series Gitzo the results have been acceptable without pre-releasing the shutter, even using a 60 Mp back.
In any case, the 645Z sounds like a great - and relatively economical - solution for assisted manual focusing, something I've been thinking about more and more as these old eyes continue on their decline...
