It's hard to address your specific concern, given the above.

The ARM doesn't say anything about the task safety of Ada.Text_IO.

Generally, operations on different File_Type objects, designating different 
external files, may be performed by different tasks at the same time without a 
problem. Operations on the same File_Type object, or on different File_Type 
objects that designate the same external file, may cause problems if performed 
by different tasks at the same time.

However, implementations may make such operations task safe if they choose.
