Producing 4 x 90 degree rectilinear images can be acceptable, or if
mounted/presented right looks great! It will result in 4 images, each
90x90 degree rectilinear, which will merge cleanly though with an
obvious discontinuity between each frame.
I often print 4 of these, mount them a few inches apart (or in separate
frames), and people love it - the brain sees the obvious connection
between each image, distortion is eliminated, but you don't have a
truly seamless 360 degree panorama.
You have to choose between >160 degrees, single image, and no
distortion - can't have em all in one image!
