Not that I know of. How would you select a hidden column to unhide it?

This is a good idea for your use case.

To view all columns at once you can temporarily "C-c SPC C-c C-c" on
<2> and double undo.
To view only one field at a time and optionally edit it you can use
"C-c `" with zero, one or -- the coolest -- two C-u prefixes:
(info "(org) Built-in table editor")
`C-c ` (`org-table-edit-field')'
Edit the current field in a separate window. This is useful for
fields that are not fully visible (*note Column width and
alignment::). When called with a `C-u' prefix, just make the full
field visible, so that it can be edited in place. When called
with two `C-u' prefixes, make the editor window follow the cursor
through the table and always show the current field. The follow
mode exits automatically when the cursor leaves the table, or when
you repeat this command with `C-u C-u C-c `'.
