In a normal SF mic the effect could become significant if the distance
between the capsules is a non-trivial fraction of the source distance

Does that really matter, though? I mean, by definition XYZ contain

That is indeed true, except perhaps for the label of "Very".

Exactly. We can model the W output as being composed of a zeroth order
(monopole) component plus a quadrapole component, which is frequency
dependant.
A quadrapole has a squared prox

Especially because, as you pointed out for quadrupoles, the
sensitivity goes up exponentially.
Actually to be more exact, isn't the increase something like quadratic
in order?
