This is partially mitigated by data systems for commercial airliners. They have an in cockpit system that give them takeoff clearance & other details from the relevant air traffic controllers. I think they still verbally acknowledge something on the radio, but it is a brief exchange.

I'll let a professional pilot try and add more detail here as to how it lessens the workload on the radio.
