My fireteam's blind raid progress (no spoilers) (Destiny)

I'm genuinely curious here
Is the raid really that short and simplistic?

Yes and no.

For my blind raid team (which was not the same as Kahzgul's, just to be clear), the mechanics became almost immediately apparent (as opposed to say, King's Fall, which involved a lot of trial and error to figure out what you were even supposed to do, and even more to figure out how to do it). We figured out the mechanics fairly quickly and then spent like two hours or better per encounter actually getting the execution down.

However, once we finished the raid once, it feels much more straight forward. We went from a like 9 hour run in week one, to like a 3-4 hour run in week two, to a 1 hour 15 minute run this week. Getting under an hour is completely possible, and actually feasible and not just possible in the theoretical "somebody will probably do it" sense. It won't be easy, and would require no wipes and as few phases as possible on every encounter, but it's definitely possible.
