I'm wondering if my bench plane will still be usable after I've done some grinding on it. Does anyone have experience with this?

Metal planes can flex a lot, so you might be testing it incorrectly. Make sure to check if it's flat using proper techniques. There's a great article I found that explains how plane soles should be mostly flat. It's a good read!
That really cleared some things up. Appreciate it!
Honestly, just give it a try and see if it can still take a shaving. Sometimes just testing it out is the best way to know!
Thanks for the tip! That was exactly what I needed to know.
