Yes, it is something of a reform. I've seen multiple spelling reform pages
suggest that spelling /f/ as <f> would be a good place to start little by
little, and I agree to some extent. (You may have also noticed me using
spellings such as "laff" or "enuff", which I hope everyone can agree to be
improvements.) As far as <ph> goes, I don't find it all that bad for a
variety of reasons, but I still sometimes end up simplifying; most commonly
medially or in clusters. "Diphthong" fits both of these. IMO [fT] also
sounds definitely better than [pT].
