daijs does say 「押忍」とも当てて書く。
And it's worth pointing out it doesn't seem to have been uk at the time the ngrams were compiled either, some 15 years ago.

Koi, Daijisen, GG5 - none show any kanji.

Obviously it's becoming fashionable in places like Twitter to use kanji for this. The arrival of IMEs has encouraged this.
A pity vwe can't tag as "formerly uk".

twitter this morning, again, past 10 min: 
押忍 14 
おっす 1
オッス 3 
おす maybe 1 (the tweet was, in full "おすおす")
オス 0 (but it's possible I might have missed one among all the 雄's)

Again, the ngrams
押忍	125476	71.4%
おっす	27607	15.7%
オッス	22594	12.9%


Several game etc. titles use the kanji
押忍!闘え!応援団
押忍!番長
押忍!!空手部
押忍!!ふんどし部! 
愛があるから押忍！
KOIZUMI 押忍！ケツ毛トリマー LEDライト搭載 (butt hair trimmer by https://www.koizumiseiki.jp/)

could find about the same amount of products/manga with kana
オッス!少林寺
ドラゴンボール オッス!帰ってきた孫悟空と仲間たち!!
オッス! トン子ちゃん
オッス!ムシキングッス!!
オッス！はるかちゃん

(if there's any おす or オス's, I'm having a hard time finding them)

I don't see any evidence for it being more commonly written with kana. It's perfectly possible it's more common in transcripts, books etc. as "おっす" but that's only one specific arena and probably not the one that's the most relevant for an informal male greeting. The young males using it on Twitter obviously prefer 押忍.

@@ -17 +16,0 @@

I've never seen 押忍 in my life but I'm pretty familiar with おっす. Surely it's always written in kana in a book, transcript, etc. GG5, daijr/s and Wiktionary don't even have kanji for it.

Tweets past 10 min
押忍 18
おっす 1
オッス 3

What makes you say that? Neither twitter nor the ngrams seem to support that.

I think

The reading じ.みる should be -じ.みる and is also redundant.
The reading -し.める is for 焚き染める and 煮染める which are quite rare.

I agree that if the figurative sense is much more common, then it should come first.

I think it really comes down to frequency of use for senses. We've followed the usual approach in modern dictionaries of having the senses in frequency order. We have the [lit] tag to highlight cases where they differ significantly.
In this case I don't think it's an issue, but when there's a common figurative sense and a rare literal sense, I'd really think it's most appropriate for the common one to lead.

Concerning the ordering of the senses,
I think the literal sense should come before the figurative sense,
even if the latter is more common

for the record, wiki policy, which we sometimes follow, says:
"In general, do not use CE or AD unless required to avoid ambiguity (e.g. The Norman Conquest took place in 1066 not 1066 CE nor AD 1066) or awkwardness (January 1, 1 AD not January 1, 1). On the other hand, Plotinus was a philosopher living at the end of the 3rd century AD will avoid unnecessary confusion. Also, in He did not become king until 55 CE the era marker makes it clear that "55" does not refer to his age. Alternatively, He did not become king until the year 55. If the era is shown for the initial date in a range, then use it for the final date as well: either from 450 to 200 BCE or from 450 BCE to 200 BCE, but definitely from 100 BCE to 200 CE. (See § Ranges, below.)"

Surely not with dates from the 20th and 21st centuries?
Where do we draw the line? Before 1800?
