Can be done, but like you said it does complicate things. I solo tank Ramuh and use a "CLEAR" macro with a few sound effects tacked on the end. While another party member will mark players 1-5 with lowest number bolting charmed players and highest number breaking chains.
Similarly, a group that is familiar with T5-T9 can complete without voice chat or calling out anything. But it requires each party member knows their role in each fight intimately. But you are most certainly correct in that Voice Chat makes XIV's endgame content worlds easier on everyone in the party, especially when there are new members or strangers present.
Talking is not necessary, but listening is most definitely helpful.
(Unless you know the content really well and people talking distracts you, which can be a thing. @_@ I can't tell you how many times in T9 I've accidentally Lunar Dynamo'd myself in that first phase just because someone started talking about something and I'm like wut? Oh frig! Souns bein' an idiot again...)
