Tho' I kind of like their looks, I would say all of the scripts in that Tékumel article look too hard to write to be likely to last or be widely-adopted. I can't imagine any sort of pen or brush or stylus or chisel or whatever being able to make it all the way through any one of those alphabets -- not even if wielded by a non-human hand. I'd say, even if one of them shouldn't be scrapped, Professor Muhammad Abd-el-Rahman Barker and/or Mattias Persson should pick a prospective writing-instrument and writing-surface that goes with the majority or plurality of the charcters in one system, and revise the remaining characters to fit. (In other words, I'd replace your "needs to be scrapped" with "needs a major overhaul from the roots up".)
Since The Petal Throne is a successful RPG (and comic book?), clearly these scripts have met the goals Barker had for them; which, probably, were "to look cool". But if players of one of these games were to have to write in one of these scripts, they'd probably complain about this particular lack of realism. In fact, if these scripts are lettered by the artists of the comic books, I'd expect them to complain, as well.
OTOH I think they'd probably be easy enough to read. Actually, in the RPG, maybe being a little tough to read is a desideratum -- I don't know.
