I find it intriguing but like you, I have my own doubts. In my view, Hebrew is quite a bit different in important ways from the Canaanite glosses in Amarna letters and Phoenician. But are these differences diagnostic? Rainey’s view of the “conquest” strongly interacts with his understanding of this whole issue.
