The address line to multiple recipients is cluttered when the e-mail address
is included. I am sure it is possible to show only names, and not names +
addresses, since some of my autocomplete addresses are in the names-only
format.

That's because the autocompletion cache will contain whatever was entered into
the To field and marked as resolved. If you used an entry whose Display As
did not contain the mail address, then the entry in To won't contain it when
you use it from the autocompletion cache. If you used one that contrained an
e-mail address because, say, you replied to a message where the sender
included his mail address in the display, then the autocompletion cache will
reflect that and it will appear when you choose it from the cache. If you
never want to see the e-mail address, then you'll need to disable the
autocompletion and use only entries from the Contacts folder that don't
contain the address in the Display As. The autocompletion cache contents is
unmodifiable without third party tools and its behavior is unmodifiable,
period.
