Speaking as someone who fits the description and currently working on my license for UK Ham (direct to full) I will be using voice. Reason being calling a CQ is pretty structured and you can read it off a script, the response is fairly structured as well, and you can just do that if you want, no obligation to branch off into actual unstructured conversation unless you want to.

Plus as others have mentioned there are plenty of ways were you can still participate without having to physically speak to other people, RTTY or automatically translated morse would be ok.
