The same complexity is there in both cases.
However, there are techniques that allow one to compute the wave function from the Bohmian trajectories. It is just a mathematical trick that certainly does not make BM philosophically more relevant, but it rather neat. This is explored in quantum chemistry contexts. Spin is an issue that stops it from being generally useful, but depending on the context, it is possible.
