AFAIK, the D850 continues the progression of better and better cutoff filters to eliminate IR blooming. The newer the body, the worse it is as a candidate for invisible light captures without modifying the filter pack on the sensor.

Peter is right. Newer cameras aren't usually good candidates for shooting IR without modification. And, the mods will void your warranty (if that's important to you).
Most of the people who shoot a lot of IR tell me that they've purchased a used body and had that modified by removing the cutoff filter from in front of the imaging sensor and had it replaced with a special filter that passes mostly or only IR light. This allows them to view and focus through the viewfinder as though there were no IR filter mounted at all.
On the other hand, you can sometimes simulate the IR look in post (with varying amounts of success).

The filter will only let pass light of a limited frequency, so if the filter only lets pass infrared but the filter on the sensor blocks in a second step this extra light the result will be a black picture.
Some years ago a forum member (I think it was @Thumper) has posted some captures of « infrared » pictures taken with filters - if I remember fine he mentioned that using the filters was having some manipulations required as they blocked most of the light (thereby requiring to frame and focus before mounting the infrared filter) - similar to strong ND filters.
When I investigated in infrared capturing, I bought a used D90 with a modified sensor - this allows to give real interesting captures. Here are a few taken with that camera
