People seem to be looking more for unique ids for their dwellings
than something that is dependent on a relatively fine grained
location/coordinate value, of which you may have multiple for one
house. We know this works, it is still a very common system in alpine
regions in Europe.
It depends a lot on the details and setting, in Venice, to give an
example with a dense urban setting, building entrances are numbered
with 4digits, unique within their “sestiere” (literally not quarter
but sixth), and it doesn’t work well for finding a place (unless you
use a map which has all the numbers). For a quick impression:

Alpine regions and Venice are probably most orderly, civilized, and
historically rich places in the world. Alpine villages look like fairy
tales. A public bus which serve them may have an ultra-modern colored TV
and air conditioning.
Yes, after two or three generations and functioning educational system,
maybe. But meanwhile I doubt very much that ids created on the ground,
lighted plaques, are even remotely feasible in all regions.
I also think that a coding system per se is not necessarily a good
solution, unless it becomes a universal standard. For example, as the
HTML or URL for browsers. If two giants the OSM and Google Maps would
support the open source OLC (plus-codes), it may work. And it could be
good thing for further innovations in this domain, it could create a
global market of advanced addressing solutions.
