Not a solution, but an alternative (and an interesting experiment):

What if you try navi-mode with your orgstruct init.el? It works with
outshine and with org-mode, so maybe with orgstruct too?

I always have the source file in 'show-all' mode side-by-side with its
*Navi* buffer that give me the overview (and dozens of other views
too). Constantly changing visibility in a file is to much action and
distraction IMO, I rather have a 2nd buffer for the overview.

Let me know if it works, I did not try navi-mode with orgstruct yet.
