Not really. It would be way down the list of MY priorities. I am far more interested in (1) an extended dynamic range for MF sensors, (2) files that look as good out of the camera with no post-processing as my 6x7 Astia/Velvia transparencies look on a light table, (3) a MF tilt/shift lens for the H series cameras, and (4)access to Lightroom for RAW conversions with no fall off in quality. I have no doubt that a bigger sensor is technically possible, but I just do not think the market is going to go there. Too little demand for such a product to bring the production costs into line with a price point at which such a product could be sold in the marketplace. We'll see. In the meantime, I believe you should buy based upon a system's capabilities today, not what may or may not come down the road.

i think that your #1 would (and will)be easier to achieve with a larger sensor (and larger pixels)....
#2 don't know which back you have, but that is the first thing people like about the P30....just great looking files out of the camera.....#3 any back that mounts on a H system should work on a view camera which gives you all the movements you could ever ask for.....#4 again P30 files (or P45) open perfectly in LR, i don't use C1 anymore at all......only to shoot tethered, but i still shoot into LR.....
you are right about production costs, but 5-6 years ago the top of the line chip was 24x36....and today we are twice that big.....it comes down to the same problem canon will have....how many pixels can you squeeze out of a give size sensor.....i think you will have to wait longer for a T/S lens for the H system then a larger sensor....look at this forum....the things people use their view cameras for would most likely not doable with a T/S lens....and in the long run a view camera system might just be cheaper......
my #1 would also be DR but after that a larger sensor would really make me happy.....
