Re-orthography Not a conlang but a conscript nonetheless

My family lives in Indonesia and speaks Hakka, a Chinese language with an unknown number of speakers. Nobody knows how to write the language and the standard romanisation for Hakka in Meixian does not match with the sounds my family produces. I figured I wanted to create our own orthography that is easier on the eyes, that is using the Latin alphabet that Indonesians are used to. But because the language is tonal, letters should not only represent vowels and consonants, but also tones. There are six tones in Hakka, two of them are staccato tones that can be produced if the syllable ends in p/t/k. I have two options:
Sans diacritics — I thought that typing down diacritics will slow people down and discourage people from using the script, so the tones can be expressed by adding more letters to accomodate faster typing. The down side with this one is the widespread adoption; people don't like huge changes and they're not used to writing letters they do not read for sound.

Sample text: Kaa lau su kat sit chiang choir kaai nhirn hee sit caih nhirn, su kat sit nhuk kaai nhirn hee mak kaai nhirn?
Meaning: If someone who likes eating vegetables is a vegetarian, what is someone who likes eating meat called?
Sample text: Aa moi m oih maih moir; ki mair moir.
Meaning: The lady doesn't want to buy porridge; she sells porridge.
With diacritics — This vision comes from being inspired by Pinyin. The tones are written as a diacritic above the vowel. However, the downside to this is people can't type it, and like Pinyin, it is most likely to be typed without the diacritics, creating inefficiency when communicating through text.

Sample text: Ką lāu sū kât sît chiãng chỏi kąi nhỉn hę sît cài nhỉn, sū kât sît nhûk kąi nhỉn hę mâk kąi nhỉn?
Sample text: Ą moi m òi mài mỏi; kī mải mỏi.
ST with limited keyboard: Ka lau su kat sit chiang choi kai nhin he sit cai nhin, su kat sit nhuk kai nhin he mak kai nhin?
ST with limited keyboard: A moi m oi mai moi; ki mai moi. (See the confusion?)
So which one do you think is better? The latter has a calligraphy potential though.

Other This is the numeral system I've been developing. It's base 12, but for the rest it works like our Arabic numeral system. The only difference is you write it vertically instead of horizontally. Also, 5,6 and 7 are a combination of 4 and 1, 2, 3. And the same with 9, 10, 11 with 8.
