Simple question but the online guide on the Synology website mentions that this is possible with SHR but doesn't specifically mention SHR2.

Can I upgrade a full chassis by swapping in larger drives without using a separate chassis? I realize I'll need to shuffle a bit of data around but just need to validate before pulling the trigger on drives. I'm assuming it's a matter of pulling 4 drives, don't see why it wouldn't work aside from the pain of moving data around in a safe manner.

I don't see why SHR2 would behave differently than SHR. I upgraded capacity on one of my units a few years ago and swapped a drive at a time over a few days. If I recall that's all it took.
