Plus codes are nothing more than discrete encoding of latitude and longitude. Compared to MGRS its not more compact.
I think using MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) is better already existing standard if you don't want to use digital decimals. No need invent something new for no gain.
compare these three formats:
8GC2CMXR+X6 (14 m accuracy)
-33.3333 -33.3333 (11 m accuracy)
4QFJ12346789 (10 m precision)
First is plus code in default accuracy 14m, second is decimal degrees with 11 m precision and the third is MGRS with 10 m precision. Each of them is discrete and identifies roughly similar area uniquely. You can add or remove accuracy by adding more decimals or characters in all of them.
