The answer is no. It is not unethical.
You are doing it in attempts to gain an edge. It is not unethical to try to gain an edge as long as we are not cheating. Is it unethical to not tell some one about their tell that you have on them? Even if it's giving us a huge +EV edge against this player? No, of course not. So why would showing a bluff something that is less EV then a physical tell be unethical? It's not!
So go on and continue showing or not showing bluffs if you believe you are gaining a statistical edge.
As you described showing bluffs can get us called by a wider range of hands when we have made hands.
As for it makes it harder for us to bluff - We should be aware of what our image is at the table and adjust our game appropriately in order to take advantage of our game style/ game plan.
Also we should adjust our game to the table as well, so we should never be going to any one game and just bluffing or just showing our bluffs we should observe and make our decisions based on our observations.
