I wouldn't be too concerned with an S needing ABC, that's old tech. I can't imagine that a brand new, re-designed flagship sedan would have a worse or rougher ride than its predecessor.
And MCB is designed to work on European-style large flatish road bumps, not potholes or small deep road imperfections, etc., and not in the dark or in bad weather.
Here is some verbage for the new car:
Mercedes' S63 AMG 4Matic boasts a more sporting suspension set-up with conventional steel springs and Mercedes-Benz’s new ADS Plus adaptive damping system, providing continuous adjustment of the dampers in two modes: Comfort and Sport. It also receives revised geometry, with added camber and a larger anti-roll bar up front along with a stiffer sub-frame at the rear.

I don't see how a GL63 is any more of a niche vehicle than S63 AMG. Both are pricier extensions of the 550 models they're based on.
