Unfortunately, this is not possible.
nice can only work on a per-process granularity, as it sets attributes of
the affected process. Builtins and functions are run within the existing
ZSH process.
Scripts and binaries however, if run outside the existing ZSH process (e.g.
not using the "source" builtin), can be niced, and should just work the way
you wrote.
