One aspect that's missing for me here is the toxicity of the glues used in OSB products. Compared to multi layer timer its massive amounts of glue being using in these OSB panels. Nothing you want in the room where you breathe at least 8 hours a day/night.

Plywood also uses glue:

Unless you're using planks for siding and your flooring, you're going to have to use some kind of glued product product. Further your OSB is generally behind your drywall (sheet rock, gypsum) which can act as an air barrier.

Ideally you should have an HRV/ERV that exchanges the air in your dwelling constantly.
