My second point of disagreement is your statement

an FPGA is "much slower". Why should this necessarily be the case?
You may not be able to clock the FPGA at multiple GHz, but you also
don't have the overheard of another operating system and the emulator
itself, which is considerable.
In my snooping through the net, I think I saw a Z80 FPGA
implementation that clocked at 160MHz. How this compares with a real
Z80H, I'm not sure, but it would seem to be somewhat faster...
