I think it has been explored many times including on this forum and Tironian notes have been discussed and researched, but of course it won't hurt exploring it once more. So, if and when you have any good evidence, I'd love to read about it.
Both shorthand and Tironian notes are mentioned in 1978 D'Imperio classic on the Voynich MS, so I think these are by no means new or under-explored ideas.
There is a fascinating idea to model the Voynich and a medical corpus as heterogeneous graphs, learn node embeddings, then align the graphs to detect recurrent patterns consistent with a mnemonic shorthand system, but there is already an enormous amount of work by brilliant researchers in every direction and I definitely don’t have all that knowledge.
Before trying I was just testing if it could be a good option.
