I think the result have cocme out fine.
I know the question, when cleaning and etching is an issue the question pops up, should I stop, or should I go further, but only the one who owns the weapons can answer that question.

Hello,

I believe that in order to get rid of all the pitting you would have to polish off half of the blade. So leave the pitting as it is since is not very detracting and it also serves as an indication to the age of the blade.

You did a good job cleaning and etching the blade.
