I think the illumination effect is pretty good; it serves it's function well and is fairly subtle. Alternatives are probably hard to come by, especially with an attempt to focus on realism, perhaps the unit's banner could wave or something.

Can't you just get into the habit of pressing enter after you give your unit a command? Then, with no units illuminated you can fly around the virtual battlefield without a care in the virtual world.
