My personal recommendation for a future version would be to explicitly require a nickname when creating or joining a campaign (pre-filled with a global nickname setting, which defaults to the username, so users who don't care at all can just click through on the same screen), which a user can then change at any time for themselves in the preferences for a given campaign.

This covers the privacy use case, and also covers utility purposes for name changes like Discord has, where it's pretty common to see a game group use names like "Jim (GM)" or "Bob (Darkbad Murderkill)" so it's always obvious at a glance who's playing who regardless of context.
