Spelling reform is a continuum from do-nothing to full-phonetic. There's plenty of grey. Consider tho that if English is nowadays a lingua franca, we submit its learners to a lot of mental torture, including vast amounts of rote memorization of both spelling and pronunciation. English may not be quite as obnoxious as its up-and-coming main competitor, Mandarin Chinese, but it's a difference of degree not of kind. My 0,02€; YMMV. Start with common words that are one-offs that are assertively misleadingly spelled. Lose, gross, broad, height. There are many more.
