wouldn't a written bill of sale from the seller be sufficient? (although a dealer plate would prevent a possible stop and subsequent discussion about the sale)

Bingo,
Have a bill of sale and you should be golden. Just bought it and taking it home, previous owner kept his plates. Insurance gives you 30days to officially add it to your policy.

If you're the one selling it, the Bill Of Sale likely won't work unless your name is on the title. And, in Utah, you can't legally "pass on" the title to another owner unless the title is in your name. If you bought it and haven't transferred the title to your name, you can't legally sell it.
You may be able to get some sort of temporary transport registration from the DMV, but if you're not the official owner, you may be hosed.
The dealer plate like you're asking for may be the best (almost) legit method...

I'd have to look, but I think Utah titles have two assignments on them, so you can reassign once without a title reissue. At least they did 20 years ago.
I don't think the state allows a legal way to do what you want. I don't care what you do, but I suspect "borrowing" a dealer plate is more serious offense than just driving it with the bill of sale, although less likely to get bothered. I think you can only get a transport permit if you pay the taxes, licensing, etc.

I'm wanting to believe there has been a recent change of law with this (title reassignment), however, I looked online for a couple minutes this morning and couldn't find any legitimate info to support this.
I do know that you aren't legally allowed to pass along a Utah title without at least signing the "reassignment of title" portion on the back. This part isn't new by any means, but since it's basically impossible for the state to track it certainly doesn't happen all the time. There was a recent push regarding this by the State via some news outlets - so this may be what I am/was thinking was a recent law change.
That said, I've reassigned way more than my fair share of titles in more than one way.
