In my opinion, the particles already provide a good cover. I think it is unfair to give blindness only to the foe, since the waterbender would also be inside the fog.The main problem I see with steambending is the particles- I think a large cloud of air particles could do, however in 1.8, particles lag some people considerably. I think the blindness effect would look strange, though that's just me.
About the lag caused by the particles, I think by the time Steambending would be really discussed as a sub-element (since it isn't in the Official Sub-Element List), lag caused by particles wouldn't be such a problem as it is at the moment. By the time, we would be already in the 1.9 Minecraft Version, which nerfs a lot the particles lag.
