I don't think it would be too bad to have a checkable box in the options somewhere along the lines of "color-blind taiko" that would replace the orange and blue with very light gray and very dark gray. Or something.
Agreed.

Current system of Taiko simply blocks those colorblinds to even think about playing Taiko. So I'd rather say 'no-one didn't even think about playing Taiko', instead of 'no-one seems to need'. (a.k.a. current Taiko lacks accessibility for colorblinds so it's natural that almost no-one plays it, or at least having hard time when playing Taiko.)
Prevalence of colorblind is actually quite high, especially for males.(7~10% of males are red-green colorblind, according to Wikipedia.) I guess not all of colorblinds are unable to play Taiko as there are several differnt types of colorbindness, but I'm sure some certain people need 'special option' for them.
Seems he could play TnT cause there are captions, so he says that if there are someting like captions that would be better to colorblinds, not 'let us make this more like Taiko simulator' or something.
EDIT:
Different note designs, well, might be better, but lots of notes are passing the screen quite fast. Even very skilled Taiko players sometimes misread some red/blue notes and get missed, and different design only is more hard for distinguish, I assume.

Uh... I should say, as I know, conventionally we use ●(black circle) to represent don(red note) and ○(white circle) to represend kat(blue note) when we are not able to access to image file for note charts.
