They did finally add an option to the Mac version Excel 2016 to turn off the cursor animation. It's in the Excel preferences panel, not a systemwide setting like on Windows. I don't recall whether it was in Excel 2016 all along or if they added in some update, but the option is definitely there now in the Mac version.
