Meanwhile, somebody posted a fix on [1]:

(defun export-radio-links-as-plain-text (link desc info)
  (when (string= "radio" (org-element-property :type link))
    desc))

(advice-add #'org-confluence-link :before-until
            #'export-radio-links-as-plain-text)

Maybe this is a good idea to include this in the official source code?
