I'm having difficulty finding sections of the IRC to not permit OSB as covering for walls, ceilings and floors.

Try R702...and R805...which sends you back to 702......and flame spread of R315...might be allowable....Don't know if it has been tested to ASTM E 84

Would you approve wood paneling? Wood shakes?

From LP's site.....I would look for more clarification....but they reference interior installs....and I am going to use it in my detached garage...
• In interior installation – garages or interior wall paneling – 3/8
Category panels may be applied to studs installed 24” o.c. Provide
a minimum 1/8” spacing between panel ends and edges.
• OSB sheathing panels are available directly from LP’s manufacturing
plants by railcar, as well as piggyback and truckload shipment.

OSB on walls ceiling and floor
I'm not sure that I don't want to approve it, but it is all over a dwelling and I'm taken back by it. It just seems wrong. I don't see a problem with it on the interior of garages. Maybe to me it's a non-traditional wall, ceiling and floor finish for a residential dwelling.

Start by viewing ResCode buildings as Type VB construction, maybe then it will make more sense.

Think of it as slightly structural really ugly wall paneling.
