Hi. I see from the org-mode 9.0 changelog
<https://orgmode.org/Changes_old.html> that the "org-completion-use-ido"
option was removed:
> *Remove all options related to ido or iswitchb*
> This includes org-completion-use-iswitchb and org-completion-use-ido.
> Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., completion-read so as to let
> those libraries operate.
However, I'm unclear from the changelog and I haven't found any other
documentation about how to restore the functionality that this option used
to enable. I have tried ido-completing-read-plus/ido-ubiquitous
<https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/ido-completing-read-plus>, but that
is overkill because it tries to enable ido everywhere, but I just want to
re-enable ido for org-mode completion (mainly refile). I also run into the
same problem if I try to set the completing read function to the one from
ido globally.
What is the best way to restore the functionality of the now removed
"org-completion-use-ido" option?

I've been able to implement the functionality I wanted using a buffer-local
variable in an org-mode hook:
>

> "Set the current buffer's completing read engine to IDO."
> (setq-local completing-read-function #'ido-completing-read))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'bl/completion-use-ido)
I think that works for me, but I'm open to a better suggestion if there is
one. In any case, I think re-enabling the functionality that was removed
with the "org-completion-use-ido" function should be documented somewhere.

That doesn't work for me

I've now found `ido-completing-read-plus' to supply what I need. It's at
https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/ido-completing-read-plus

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try out `ido-completing-read-plus`, but
it's too aggressive for me. It tries to enable ido *everywhere*, including
the interface for `M-x`. I just want to enable it for org-mode specific
completions. Basically, I want replicate exactly the functionality that was
removed with the `org-completion-use-ido` option.
Incidentally, the buffer-local variable is also too aggressive. Now, when I
try to enter a command with `M-x`, that interface tries to use IDO for
completing reads, and IDO can't handle it so it fails. That means I'm back
at the drawing board, and my previous solution doesn't actually work for me.
Does anyone know how I replicate the functionality that was removed with
`org-completion-use-ido`?

Sorry to hear of your ido-completing-read-plus experience. The only
other suggestion I have is to use icomplete, which predates ido. Emacs
has it installed so all you need do is
(require 'icomplete)
(icomplete-mode 1)
It might be worth a try.
