One thing that I thought was very interesting was the fact that they used simple substitution ciphers to encrypt their messages. We think of those types of ciphers as easy to solve, but that was all they needed to do to securely hide their message. The jumps in cryptology have been very larger in the last 150 years than all of the years before it.
I think that it would be pretty hard to learn the Deseret alphabet. I agree that once the letters were learned it would be easier reading. Reading a phonetic alphabet would be a lot easier than reading and pronouncing English.
