I have not investigated window tint but my dad has it on his Passat (which obviously has the defroster grid on the rear window). I liked the side windows of his car okay but driving his car at night annoys me.

Headlights in the rearview mirror have an effect similar to a star filter in photography where the light refracts in different directions. It is especially annoying to me on the interstate when I have about a half-dozen or more sets of headlights. Plus, I cannot tell what kind of cars are behind me.

If I tint the rear window of next project, it will be a gridless rear window.
