Diffraction is always there, you just don't see it or it's less obvious at lower resolutions. You don't have to use a wider aperture because of higher resolution, if you need the DOF then use it. If not use something that hits the sweet spot on your lens, generally around f/8-f/11. Diffractionbecomes much more obvious past f/16 even at lower resolutions.
