As long as claims to interaction aren't made then fine (that's the deist's god btw, the non tinkering type). Once god starts involving itself with our affairs or our world we have something to observe. By the by, we do have things to observe regarding "god"; fairy tales that can be demonstrated to exist, in books that can be demonstrated to exist, written by men that can be demonstrated to exist. Pluto and god aren't exactly equivalent. Pluto is a physical object that we lacked the ability to observe not because it was unobservable, but because we were technologically inept. Immaterial gods are unobservable, not because we are inept, but because they are removed from our reality (read: either factually non-existent or functionally non-existent). The Russel's Teapot defense of god isn't very compelling to me.
If you want to define god as unobservable that's okay with me, just be sure that you aren't piggybacking observable claims in the narrative of an unobservable god.
