I presume an alloy forge to be designed to smelt seperate metals into one (Copper & tin > Iron) which means it does have to get to high or extreme temperatures. It is also possible there will be some form of steel later on made from Iron & Coal in an alloy forge. I haven't played for while so forgive me if this recipe is already being used in the alloy forge.

The Hobbit Oven is purely made for food. Its use is simply made for this purpose.

Honestly, I don't see this idea getting added. Simply because the isolated space in an oven with fire inside would burn the reeds pretty quickly. Maybe if Campfires ever get added this could be a thing if they have a gui that you would theoretically place the reeds next to the fire to dry. But note this would never be a visual thing. Honestly; You can find dried reeds in the wild, sure a majority isn't dried but not everything in Minecraft has to be made as common as other things. You'd be better off asking for a decrease in rarity of dried reeds than asking for a whole new process to be coded and added which has literally no priority or necessity.
