Definitely worth the hike down into the canyon if you're up for it. Near Blanding, check out Edge of the Cedars SP Museum.
Here's another question. If we leave Moab one day early, what is cool to do or see between Moab and Monument Valley for a day?

Unfortunately we are already booked in Moab March 29-31st at Canyonlands RV Resort. We discovered too late about the Easter Jeep Safari. We have specific reservations before and after Moab and aren’t sure what to do. We also don’t want to miss Arches and Canyonlands NP.
Canyonlands RV Resort sent us an email a week ago warning us it would be busy. We looked at other RV parks in and around Moab and discovered they are all full as well that week. Any recommendations on where to stay that will allow us to see Arches and Canyonlands without staying in the middle of Moab? We certainly prefer quiet.
For lots more info on Moab, check out this thread I put together a few months ago.

At the top of the Devils Backbone we encountered a warning sign that read:
Warning 18 percent grade next 4 miles with steep curves. They put that sign there for a reason...

That's the best way to go. Definitely 20 vs. 14 to get to 89. 14 is very steep - much worse than Hwy 12 (which we love with our 40' MH) :).
For Sedona, stay in nearby Cottonwood at Dead Horse Ranch State Park. It's an easy drive to Sedona and a much more relaxing, quiet place to stay. Sedona is hectic. You'd also be a few miles from Jerome - definitely worth a visit.
