Are there any issues with driving in fasteners from above the
plywood rather than below?

Only the fact that you can't get it off without removing whatever is
on top.

Ummm, let's assume for a moment that he fastens the ply from
below and then installs the granite. I guess he can subsequently
remove the fasteners without removing the granite. Fine! But,
pray tell, how's he gonna remove the plywood without removing
the granite? Slide it out? With a 1000 pounds of granite on top?
ROTFL.

I think the advantage he's referring to is not having to unbond the
granite from the plywood upon removal. It can be removed all
together.

I agree with the other response about not using plywood. It'll just
get in the way of shimming.
