I am really looking for a Radio-Clock for my iPhone. This seems to be non-trivial looking at iPhone/iPad alarm clock app with custom radio stream support . All proposed solutions require the app to be running until the alarm goes off. Now that we have Shortcuts this should be a piece of cake: start Alarm -> when done -> play my favourite radio url. Or is it not? Is there a reason in case it is not (besides Apple did not implemented it)?

When Shortcuts first came out, I immediately created a Sleepytimes script. Among other things, it enabled Do Not Disturb. After some days of use, I realised that you could also add controls over Bedtime.
The two steps you are looking to do go like this.
Add the object
Set Do Not Disturb. Set it toONand the Until to your liking.Add the object
Edit Bedtime(search for it - if you cannot find it, just launch Clock -> Bedtime a couple of times - hopefully there will be an easier way to get this to show in the future).
Hope this helps! Also, I think I can just share a shortcut with Edit Bedtime in it. Let me know if you are able to access Edit Bedtime by opening this iCloud link - after that you could try and tap on the object and select "Set favorite". Would be interesting to see if this lets it show for you from now on in the searches or in the Favorite -tab?

Shortcuts app is available for all the devices running iOS 12. You can use this App Store link to access the app.
Open this answer directly on your iPhone/iPad and tap on the link above to directly open the App Store page of the Shortcuts app and download it. Alternatively, open the link in Safari for macOS and AirDrop it to your iPhone/iPad. This will directly open the App Store page for the app where can download it.
Your devices aren't too old to run the app. There is no special device capabilities required for running the app. The app is supported on all the devices capable of running iOS 12. (For iPhones that goes as far back as iPhone 5s.)
Shortcuts used to be a 3rd party app called Workflow before Apple acquired the app and hired the development team. You can learn more about the app here.
Apple has shared a pretty in-depth user guide explaining how to use this big step forward for iOS - the features are baked deeply into iOS and 3rd party developers can write extensions that let shortcuts and Siri reach into those apps and do work and automation.

I don't know about iOS devices, but if you have a HomePod, you could use the Home.app.
Home.app > Bottom of screen > Automation > Create Automation
Select "A Time of Day Occurs" > Time Of Day > Next
Select your HomePod > Next
Select When > Then Turn Off > set timer
Select Media > Choose Audio
Radio
Select station.
