In my view, the problem isn’t inherent in discussion of ethics, it’s just that many notions of ethics (particularly in social interaction) are just hypocritical and wrong from the start.
I agree with you here and also note that what I am wary of is not environments in which ethical discussions take place but rather environments in which discussions pertaining simple instrumental or epistemic considerations are systematically diverted by ethical discussion or moral proscription. That is, it is what is lost and the implied introduction of bias into what remains that is the problem.
