I work in a similar market, and we're only just starting to phase out these larger nodes and move to 22nm simply for wafer availability.
It doesn't benefit from 22nm - analog blocks generally don't scale down at all, they have to be a particular size to achieve particular current handling, inductance etc. requirements. But we need the production line availability.
