That is an absolutely horrible idea. It might seem intuitive at first ("Just alternate keys!") but its impracticality becomes immediately apparent and is directly acknowledged in the site you linked:
>> There’s just one drawback: the monotony of such an arrangement. How can we find our way on such a keyboard? Recently, the French musicologist Laurent Fichet remarked: “This system would certainly be much more rational than the keyboard of today, but one may wonder how players would locate the different notes with such a systematic and uniform layout.”
The French version of the article then goes on to suggest many variations of ways to avoid being lost on a keyboard without any obvious pattern (the English version only lists one, briefly). Some include coloured keys.
It is beyond obvious that the simple, intuitive solution proposed at the start produces a cavalcade of complications none of which has a simple solution.
Not to mention: despite what the linked site suggests, learning how to position your fingers on the keyboard is the least of your problems when you learn the piano, just as learning to touch-type is the least of your problems when you learn how to code.

I vote no.
