But, they've always been able to do that.If the engineer/s know the venue and how it changes with the size of the performing group, they can position a stereo pair very quickly. Or any other relatively simple array.
'Clarity' for home listening, might be 'improved', but fidelity can not be increased, by adding mikes.
Each time we add one capsule we add edge cancellations, timing problems, and timbre alterations. If we start with two capsules (stereo) and add just one capsule, we've got three extra edge cancellations. Timing problems and if it's a spot mike, timbral shifts.
Lossy.
