AFAIK, you can use `ido-completing-read' as a general replacement for
`completing-read'.
I don't know if you could just do a `defalias' (or would want to, even if
you could), but at least for your own commands you can choose to use
`ido-completing-read' instead of `completing-read'.
It looks like the signatures of the two functions are a bit different, so I
doubt that you could just `defalias' completing-read to
ido-completing-read - the latter does not accept an inherit-input-method
argument, and its second argument must be a list of strings, not an obarray
or an alist whose cars are strings.

I don't think that ido can do this (yet I don't /know/ either that it
can not.) However, there's M-x icomplete-mode
