Do I need a new receiver? (PS4 Pro to 1080p)

PS4 Pro does the scaling for you. If you set the output to 1080p on the PS4, the PS4 will super sample the higher resolution image, unless setting the PS4 to 1080p makes the game do something different (like The Last Guardian).

I was testing it myself on Rise of the Tomb Raider and the improvement is actually pretty incredible. It doesn't seem like anti-aliasing to me, I can actually see more detail.

On a 1080P TV?  And if I understand you correctly, the scaling by the Pro creates a signal that is compatible with HDMI version 1.3 without loss of quality for 1080P sets.  is this correct?

Yes. :)

What do you mean by loss of quality? You wouldn't be getting 4k detail but the super sampled image will still be more detailed than if the game were rendering at 1080p natively. As long as you select your output to be 1080p, the signal coming out of the PS4 won't be any different for your TV than the signal coming out of a PS3.
