Is is possible to add disc mounts to a steel frame and fork? or would everything blow up?

The fork would be easier to replace outright, but the frame should be ok, as long as a reinforcing strut is fitted between the stays.

Or there's the neater ( imo ) option of placing the mount on the chainstay.

Best to let an experienced frame builder take a look at your frame and advise you.

The downside with the latter is that the brake housing need to be rerouted from the top tube to the down tube, creating additional cost to the extra brazing.
