I would agree.

However, I seem to remember reading that parallelling FET's can improve the overall noise performance, but can't find the reference to quote.

It does however reduce the input impedance. This is not too much of an issue, as many E-Field amplifier circuits have far too high a value anyway, but there is a compromise to be reached in terms of the number of FETs used in a practical implementation.

So the benefit in my opinion is not noise reduction, but large signal handling.
