My Lumix camera has a similar mode (uses sensor shift and 4 exposures to fake a composite 100MP image from my 25MP sensor), and I will say that even with a rock-solid tripod, you're not _actually_ getting a 4X (or whatever) increase in quality alongside the 4x resolution. If you zoom in Lightroom, the resulting image is at best a bit sharper in really high contrast areas, and at worst full of blatant overlapping and stitching artifacts.
I've never figured out a good use-case for that mode, and I've tried to use it quite a few times to shoot landscapes or static scenes with a tripod.
Maybe Canon does it better, but perhaps they dropped it because it's just not producing worthwhile results.
