Org export for table.el tables relies on export capabilities of
table.el. We may hack into the export to add border (say, according to
#+ATTR_HTML attribute), but it will be fragile wrt changes in table.el
export.

So, I do not think that it is a good idea to add such kind of feature to
Org. table.el support is limited as long is it is not a part of actual
Org syntax and not supported fully in org-table.el.

In terms of Org development, we should probably focus more on improving
built-in tables, as discussed in
https://orgmode.org/list/878rkyarvm.fsf@localhost

On personal level, you may use org-export-filter-table-functions to add
the borders as needed.
