Will read. If ambisonic relevant, will put into Motherlode in time.
It concludes that although 24-bit operation is advantageous for audio creation purposes it is inadvisable for playback purposes. This is also true for public address systems [...]
On the purely digital front, that's exactly how Audio Renaissance for Acoustics's analysis proceeded, with the likes of Gerzon and Stuart backing it up. So that's just already settled digital knowhow.
About the precise, current, frontier in the analog side, I don't know much about. The argument having to do with background noise is clearly sound, but as for everything else, there we could need some hardcore input from the likes of Meridian Engineers. My hunch is that the problems aren't as dire as you paint them to be, but that at the same time it does take a lot of expensive engineering to get them right, so that there will be a serious price/quality tradeoff even at concert hall dimensions. At least that's what the relevant papers said about a decade ago.
