OK I formatted my partitions in twrp and it was formatted as ext4. I read somewhere that the moto Z uses f2fs by default. Is this true and I just reduced performance of my phone because of a bug in twrp? I couldn't find an option to format as f2fs.
No problem here to format /data into F2FS in TWRP
Working great with AOKP

You can flash back the system with fastboot or boot TWRP from fastboot and flash a custom ROM from there.

I'm in a bit of a pickle... perhaps someone can help?

I've a Bell Canada XT1650-03, OTA updated to 7.0.

I unlocked the bootloader, flashed 3.0.3-n1 as above, then tried sideloading UPDATE-anykernel2 and superuser per this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/help/bell-canada-version-finally-rooted-t3547956. In the process I managed to lose my OS (sigh... yep, I'm a noob with no backup). I downloaded the stock ROM, did a manual install (series of flashboot commands), but got errors regarding the wrong security version. Found the 7.0 update ROM and installed it the same way. No errors this time, but the device gets the unlock warning, then a Moto splash. then shuts off. Recovery gets me the red triangle, unless I go through adb and flash TWRP, which then hangs on the TWRP splash screen. Feeling a bit of a dunce here. Was looking for root... now just want a working phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Personally I use 3.0.3-n2 posted a bit earlier. You successfully entered TWRP?
You may want to try out the installation instructions in the LineageOS thread (the wiping part). And then flash a factory image zip or maybe even LineageOS

Thanks for the response!

Unfortunately I'm not getting into TWRP anymore: just get the splash screen, and it hangs there. Screen doesn't even dim, although holding down the power button does eventually shut it down. I'll take another look at LineageOS, but I'm guessing I need some kind of working recovery first.

Fastboot that version of TWRP I mentioned. Fixed that for other users. It's posted earlier in this thread

Yay! Newer TWRP worked like a charm. Installed LineageOS, too... looks good. Root seems to be iffy, but I'll deal with that in the morning. For now I've 3-days of voicemail and texts to catch up on, then bed. Thanks for the recommendation!

It's a addon activated in developers settings to get root ☺ SuperSu not needed.
There is also a other kernel available if you use battery mods or something.
All links and info that is nice to know exists earlier in Lineage thread

I had success a few weeks ago and posted what I did here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/help/bell-canada-version-finally-rooted-t3547956

That is what he followed but something went wrong and system got broken.
Some have issues entering TWRP N1 version. N2 version fixes splash screen issues.
