unreal and related ircds support +B as an opt-in usermode, which then shows up in RPL_WHOREPLY and RPL_WHOISBOT. This is highly useful for bots that wish to automatically ignore other bots. Please consider supporting this, or an equivalent mechanism. Thank you.

it feels like bot modes are just to make up for the fact that bots should output on NOTICE but don't

Yes, but this is not possible to fix, since clients do not treat notices acceptably for channel bots to use.

[...] clients do not treat notices acceptably [,,,]

is this still a real problem? i've used quite a few clients (catgirl, weechat, irssi, hexchat, kirc, thelounge, kiwi, etc) and never had any that do anything unacceptable/weird on NOTICE

Not unacceptable necessarily, but inappropriate for receiving a reply from a bot in a channel. Such as popups, separate windows, alerts, etc.
