Let's just be honest; Ordnance as a rule generally causes more trouble than it's worth, and most vehicles that *do* mount Ordnance are large enough that the fact they cause Snap-Firing issues in the first place is irksome. The classic vehicle to complain about Ordnance being an issue is the Leman Russ, though the Monolith and Defiler are unpopular for similar reasons (cost excluded, of course), not to mention Ork Battlewagons having little reason to toss Killcannons on-board.

Just make them Primary Weapons already, make them harder to neuter (so "one gun" isn't as much of an issue), and bam. Somehow I doubt there are any OP combos that would emerge from such a shift. Thoughts?

That's my first thought, too. The one shot isn't so amazingly awesome that mostly giving up all the others is worth it.

Or make it so that using the ordnance profile is optional.
