I'm skeptical that this would be easy to learn. I haven't thought about what row certain keys are on for about 25 years. I imagine there would be a long period

  It's incredibly easy relative to Dvorak. Dvorak changes every single key across the whole keyboard and you have to relearn typing from scratch. This just changes a few keys, and when you "miss" you immediately know where the right one actually is, either directly above or directly below...super easy fix and the muscle memory will redevelop quickly.

  As someone who can type on Dvorak, this is exactly what would happen. It doesn't matter that it isn't as radically different as qwerty->dvorak, you still have muscle memory for where everything is and now it's different. It's a bit like learning a new language. If you're going to change keyboard layouts, you might as well do it right and pick a better layout than this. I like Dvorak, but Colemak and Workman layouts are also well-regarded.
