Is it okay to understand that "be" was omitted after "the best me I can"?

Yes, the general expression here is "being the best someone can be", so it appears as though "be" is omitted in this case. "Being the best me I can" still makes sense and is used sometimes with the "be" omitted, however, it would sound more natural to say "being the best me I can be".
