As you mentioned upthread, there have been [previous attempts] at this,
the first of which was by (Emacs household name!) Jonas Bernoulli in
[[PATCH 0/3] emacs: allow opting out of notmuch’s address completion]. He
implemented a separate package, available from MELPA and [GitHub -
tarsius/notmuch-addr: An alternative to notmuch-address.el].

notmuch-addr works great for me with Corfu. Perhaps it can someday ship
with Notmuch as an alternative to notmuch-address or even replace it
outright when notmuch moves the minimum supported Emacs version to 27.1.
