We host some sites on Media Temple, and were told by them that they no longer have any dedicated IP addresses to offer, so if we want an SSL cert on a site we must use SNI. So isn't "running out of IPv4" addresses another reason for using it? Or are we/they misinformed about this?

They are likely running low and no longer offer dedicated IP addresses for anything lower than their managed VPS and dedicated server packages. If they don't have any IP addresses left to dedicate to dedicated servers and high-end VPSes, then they're in serious trouble.
