Z Motors with Different steps per mm
-
I have 3 motors on my Z and two of them have 20 to 1 gearing and the third has 100 to 1 planetary gearing this is because the entire gantry moves in Z. The third motor would drift down when the power was turned off. The easiest way to fix this was to use a higher gear ratio.
Is it possible to have different gear ratios or steps per mm for each Z motor? -

Not currently supported as each axis is configured as a single thing rather than as individual motors.

@SignPostMan that's currently not supported by the firmware

@SignPostMan is the drifting down a problem?, i have a bed suspended on belts so have the same issue when the power is lost, but i just home it when ive finished printing at Z max , in your case it would be z min, you could move the head off the bed and let it home on physical stops.
