Not practically when they are on the other side of the globe.
Unless I missed some trick.

Can waypoints be defined as relative to a home waypoint? Ideally be set 
to the GPS coordinates in pre-launch.

The places would still be all over, but at least they would be near your 
actual flying location.
And for simple 'return to home and loiter' plans no input would be required.

Sure. And I think nobody is for removing complexity.
But hiding it for beginners might be a good idea.
Some good practice flight plans with useful options to base individual 
customisations on might be the way to go.

I don't know. I think flight plans are a relatively minor problem. But 
you get still quickly overwhelmed when using any of the (sadly less than 
perfectly annotated) example flightplans from the repo.
