If you use z/VM, you can run OS390 2.10. We do.

IBM says flat out that OS/390 cannot run on a z9 at all. Otherwise my client would have done that instead of installing a z9 with z/OS V1R8 in parallel and then cutting over in August (which I'm working on right now, by the way). My client brought in Mainline and IBM so that the new system would be "certified".
