Not deaf but I attended RIT in Rochester, NY and about 10% of the campus was deaf. They seemed to have zero issues doing things hearing people do. You're right that there are plenty of other ways to communicate.
I remember driving on the highway a few times and seeing two cars side by side with the passengers signing at each other. Definitely entertaining.
