I thing what you are describing here is metaphysical naturalism. But that is not what the idea of uniformitarianism is about. Uniformitarianism used to be as you realise is uniform rates of processes taking place as opposed to catastrophism which claimed that all geological formations were formed by periodic catastrophic floods. Modern science acknowledges catastrophes like Chicxulub, the snowball earth and vulcanism on scales far greater than we see today, but while the events are on a scale far greater than we see today the same laws of physics were still operating, hence uniformitarianism. Events in the past can be studied with the same laws of physics we use today using science's methodological naturalism. And like methodological naturalism today it simply does not address what God can or cannot do.I'm using the term in a much broader sense as in the uniformity of natural laws as opposed to non-uniform acts of God.
