Just to understand, you are asking for something like this:
| | b |
| a |---|
| | c |
It's not supported ATM. You could probably make an export filter to get
it in the output, if that's what you are looking for.
There's table.el-tables which support this kind of thing, but they are
not really convenient to work with, and at least in LaTeX they will not
easily support booktabs (last I checked).

I don't know.

Of course it would be feasible, but it would probably require *a lot* of
work, and you haven't argued why this is compelling.
Personally, I can see the use of multicolumns,
| a |
|--------|
| b | c |
but less so of multirows.
Hope it helps,
Rasmus
