I say no. One example of this no would be why Korra has to search for Tenzin...why not some other Airbender if he's given others this ability?

Energybending removing bending was only a plot device to keep Ozai from being killed on openly on their series. They even displayed that Aang is at risk in using this ability; possibly wiping out his own bending in the process. If he can grant bending, then that would be a futile thing to worry about losing.
