Agreed, being able to fire smoke grenades would be sweet, but like you said, too many safety issues. You'd have to firstly have enough pressure to force the grenade out of the mortar, gain enough range and height to be effective, hope no one happens to be standing there.. etc I'd probably think a coloured smoke grenade would be used to mark for artillery but then everyone would be aware of an incoming strike. Plus, I don't think mortar fired smoke grenades would be nearly as effective as hand thrown for precision considering the distance it'd be fired. The only time it'd be of any use would be for really big open areas, but who would wanna charge through that anyway?
AND grenades wouldn't be as aerodynamic as a foam rocket. They'd likely spin around and go who knows where.
