We will need to keep the dot, the "dagesh qal", in the letters bet, kaf, pe to distinguish between their "hard" and "soft" manifestation. Otherwise, the dagesh is redundant in plain speech.
Yeah but you didn't address my issue.
Without the dagesh hazak, there is no way of explaining a lot of confusing issues with vocalizing Hebrew, especially with פיעל and התפעל, which have dagesh hazak as part of the stem.
Do you want people to just not be able to know why there's a noun "davar" and a verb "medabber" (and not "davar" and "medaver")?
