1.) If the writers can't come up with something good, how long can they reasonably hold off telling the audience (in this case, expect a LOST scenario where they have the big revelation on how wessen recognize grimm in the series finale). Another way of describing this point, would be whether not telling/showing the Grimm audience the truth ever hurt Grimm ratings?
2.) Other than a minor episode ratings' bump, what do the writers get from showing the truth? Would it be the basis for an entire season arc? I really don't see them getting anything from not showing the audience how wessen recognize grimm.
3.) If the writers come up with something good, how do they rationalize to the audience how no one (e.g., Monroe) has told Nick before now?
4.) If the writers come up with something good, when would be the perfect time to make the revelation? Mid-season finale? A season finale? A series finale?
I think (2) and (3) above are going to force the writers to wait until the series finale. There's just no benefit in doing so before then, but there's a lot to lose by having a really bad explanation.
