Your use case

What would you like to do?

Not show the name of the person you are in a conversation with above every bubble when the private chat only has one other person in it (I.E. a direct message conversation).

Why would you like to do it?

It's very cluttered to always see the name when you already know who it is.

How would you like to achieve it?

Removal of name when in direct messages (1 on 1 chats). This is also applicable to other clients including web, but I will post here for starters.

Have you considered any alternatives?

There are no easy alternatives.

Additional context

This is especially beneficial when bridging other private chat services, such as Signal, if you wish to use Element as a replacement UI.

Are you willing to provide a PR?

Yes

Note: if this is accepted and devs can point me in the right direction, I'm happy to take a look at a PR for this and web.

I can only agree, design of Element bubbles is not well designed, because of that I use SchildiChat instead.
Hoever I can see that Element Web doesn't show sender name above every message, that should be considered as a bug instead of enhancement.
