But isn't that exactly what HDRI is good for? Reflected light coming from all directions to all parts of the illuminated object. Also to places which are turned away from the light source. Exactly what a large number of bounces does. Only more effective, faster.

That depends - you'd have to find an HDRI with the exact lighting you want for the scene. And HDRI-lit scenes aren't exactly fast to render in Poser, they take forever to clear out the noise...
