I doubt that aquaplaning is an issue during takeoff as the physical aspects tend to reduce tire drag.
Spray / impingement drag might be of greater concern.

Also note that 9 x root P may not apply to all types of tire ( radial ply ?); the critical speed could be as low as 7 x root P.
See https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?...iew=1up&seq=44 via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaplaning for a range of speeds.
