I typically ask my wife (or helper) to help pump the clutch pedal while I'm down at the bleeder valve though - it's much faster than the gravity bleed process.
And yes, I can confirm there is no return line or clutch fluid circulation in the Z. Definitely want to do a bleed if the fluid is looking bad - dirty fluid can cause internal seals to fail (typically on the master).

So you still do the ranger method just as an ongoing maintenance? ....I suppose I will do this also along with the bleed too! Thanks
