I wouldn't say a lot simpler. This does what I want:
%<(nonnull(getmymbox{to}))From: %(myname) <%(getmymbox{to})>\
%?(nonnull(getmymbox{cc}))From: %(myname) <%(getmymbox{cc})>\
%|From: %(myname) <%(localmbox)>%>

If you mean in a user's format, I don't see a good way. That's
what I meant by the format engine won't return an addr, and
%(addr) takes an addr. Am I missing something?

Yes, but the approach I mentioned gives the most flexibility, I
think. The user can put their personal name in their From: line
as they do now. On the other hand, if %(getmybox) included it,
then it could be something that the user doesn't want, including
null.
