The real benefit is not using 6x network bandwidth, storage, memory, processing power and more battery of the mobile device. That benefit is not going anywhere, no matter what.
Post-processing is applied to the signal which is physically impossible to distinguish from the source. It is true that it often needs higher resolution, and DSPs will upsample internally and then back and operate on floats. But to claim without evidence, that post-processing may give human listener back the ability to tell apart whether 192/24 medium was used instead of 48/16, would be to reintroduce the same quality-loss paranoia, just with an extra step. If one couldn't hear the difference before an effect was applied...they won't hear it after.
As for DJs, they do use high-res assets when producing mixes. That's still mastering stage, technically.
