In my case, also using corfu and BBDB, I'm currently happy with :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq eudc-server-hotlist '(("localhost" . bbdb)))

(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (add-to-list 'completion-at-point-functions
                         #'eudc-capf-complete)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The removal of message-completion-function was breaking completion for
the Gcc: field and 'eudc-capf-complete seems enough to get completion in
the To: field.
