People here in CA are mostly aware that lane splitting is a thing, though you're right that most of them aren't watching for it necessarily.
I do assume they don't see me coming up on them. This is why I don't split very fast.
I don't think you're "overly" cautious about people who might cross your path when they shouldn't. Yes, you may yield more than the other guy thinks you "should" but that's ok. I do, too. Even when I'm driving a car, I yield to the other guy when it keeps me out of trouble. Yeah, technically it might be my right-of-way, but I'm not going to argue it and scratch my car or get me hurt.
