All 6 um sensors use microlenses. The ones found in P65+ and later are however friendlier to tech wides than p30+, that's why it's become a widespread belief that they have none, but they do have them.
On sk35 and even rodenstock 40 you can for shifted shots see ripple caused by the microlenses, but a good lcc algorithm fixes it.
The new Sony sensor is not so good with tech wides as shown with IQ250 testing. It's not a tech wide angle sensor, so it's use for tech cam is mainly limited to table top photography.
What tech cams need is the new backlit sensor type which puts the photodiode at the surface, but it's only available in small sizes still. Old sensors without microlenses instead have problems with poor fill factor and thus worse aliasing.
(Concerning aliasing I am surprised that portrait photographers have not demanded aa filters on their sensors, but they still seem to prefer pixel peep resolution rather that getting rid of aliasing artifacts such as moire an color errors on fabrics.)
