The next medium format camera from Fujifilm is expected to offer an even higher resolution than the expensive Phase One XF IQ4. According to the latest rumors from a reliable source, Fujifilm is currently developing a GFX camera with a 180MP medium format sensor.
I don’t know much about photography, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but would something like focus stacking help with this?
That is to say, make the lens less of a bottleneck so you could benefit from a higher resolution sensor.

But TL;DR: for distant landscapes on a wide field of view lens, you can shoot at F5.6 and everything is in focus. I even do this at F1.4 on my lowly aps-c camera.
Put more concretely, the hyperfocal distance for a 35mm f5.6 lens on a medium format camera is 5 meters. Everything in the distance can be in focus.
For portraits, you want background blur anyway.
And if you’re doing anything else on a medium format camera, you’re kind of insane, heh.
