When I blow up a cliff, I feel like there should be some stone left behind.

Maybe have cliff explosives leave behind stone, coal, and wood (if there were trees in the area) after they blow them up. They should damage trees and while it's convenient that they do not blow up or damage structures, they probably should as well.

Why? I would understand if cliff explosives were usable from beginning, when player have to mine things by hand or have very limited number of automated miners. But at the phase when cliff explosives become available, all collected stuff is just annoying fill of limited inventory. Few tens or hundreds of stones or coals are nothing in automated production process.
