The lack of chain-specific information (such as name or ID) in the Ethereum address format creates several interoperability challenges. e.g. L1 to L2 txs require an aliased `msg.sender`. How can the address format be improved to address this issue?

It's a thorny one, I remember conversations in 2021 about extending address from 20 to 32 bytes (for collision resistance + the plan to tag address with their state expiry "epochs"). Here's a bunch of links about approaches there: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/thoughts-on-address-space-extension-ase/6779

I don't remember specifics, but ultimately none of the solution were deemd truly satisfactory (there was a call with a bunch of people from the Ethereum R&D Discord and we kinda drew a blank) and I don't think that line of inquiry saw a lot of movement since.
