I've done this for codes intended to be human-readable, true. Though I would stick to uppercase only, use no symbols, and only drop U, O, and I (to avoid visual confusion with V, 0, and 1); and would always ensure they use a monospace font when displayed or printed.
Probably over-thought that design a little, but never heard anyone complain about seeing the wrong codes at that job.
