I'll just quote the conclusion in the link you just posted (bold and italics added so you don't have the read the whole thing):
-------- CONCLUSIONS
Thus far, you're probably thinking, "diffraction more easily limits resolution as the number of camera megapixels increases, so more megapixels must be bad, right?" No — at least not as far as diffraction is concerned. Having more megapixels just provides more flexibility. Whenever your subject matter doesn't require a high f-stop, you have the ability to make a larger print, or to crop the image more aggressively.
--------
What they are very briefly stating is exactly what u/Curious80 and I are saying. You get additional performance overhead with high MP sensors but it doesn't make the 40MP sensor perform worse at f8 or f11 compared to the 26mp sensor.
Yes, there will be differences because of the Bayer or X-filter but the 40MP image will push those artifacts down smaller into the image, so all created equal, you should have a slightly better performance with the higher MP sensor and rarely will it ever appear worse.
The one case where I could see it happening is if the frequence cycle of the image happened to overlay onthe the sensor pattern with an unfortunate cycle pattern interaction (moire, essentially). It's possible that the 40MP sensor could show moire or artifical colors worse in that circumstance than the 26MP sensor, but even so, it shold still start a s smaller scale in deeper into the image where it becomes less of a concern.
