Does anyone use "stretch" tuning on their diatonic harmonicas?
Maybe some of you customizers? wouldn't it result in "beating" octaves?

Yes, stretched octaves DO beat.

When I read about it, I tried it. But in a 3 octave short harp, I didn't
find it worthwhile. I do address it in piano tuning, 7-8 octaves.

The stretch is technically and musically supported, but with so many
variations (+/- 5 cents) showing on the tuner, it's hard to make the
stretch precise enough to count.

Pat Missin has a better method here:
