Can't we have a combined (computational) approach, where we use a slower shutter-speed to get rid of noise, while at the same time we use a fast shutter-speed to avoid motion blur? Or use several pictures taken with a fast shutter-speed to reduce noise?

You can have smaller sensor sites (pixels) and downsample to a lower resolution in order to average away most of the noise. That's one approach with, for example, cameras like RED's new 8k film camera.

Of course. I seem to recall this is built-in into the default Pixel 2 camera app.

Any references to papers describing this technique?
