Do you really need `org-capture' feature or something like the following
may be an alternative?

As to org-capture templates, when I tried elisp expression first time,
I needed namely function, so "%(...)" looks rather natural for me as
function call or forms like "(if ...)". I do not expect consistency from
this quite specific DSL.
From my point of view, a couple of helper functions with short names
and scope limited to templates may be considered, e.g. "%(var
default-directory)" and "%(svar 10)". The latter forces conversion to
string.
