I trend to agree with your assessment on the 22mp 35mm DSLR equal medium
format system in resolution but I found the shadow details of DSLR much
better than film as the film grain at shadow is quite serious. Here is a
21MP test shot for reference:

It was taken with an OM 50/1.4 at F4. Digital is just so.... clean!
BTW, I don't have a good 4000dpi scanner for MF, the sharpness of your 2X
image is good but the scene missing some fine details to check and the image
looks quite grainly. Here is a scan of 645 image with my Epson 4850 at
4000dpi, Film: Velvia 50.

I believe a real 4000dpi scanner will do much better.
Oh! I forgot to mention, it was taken with an Olympus Six III A.
