I would think that if you are in the field, apps like OsmAnd and Maps.ME can show you the OLC address of where you are.
If you want to see a grid in JOSM or iD, it should be trivial to either show them as transparent imagery, or in the case of JOSM, have a plugin draw the grid and show it as an extra layer you can toggle on or off. I also don't see a reason to add the OLC codes in tags in the database, even if marked on a building. If I paint the coordinates of my house on it, are you going to map that too? And if so, would you add them to lon and lat tags or to addr:housename?
