Yeah I do that as well.
I always think that the reader will look at every panel the same way I do, when that's not even close to the truth.
The average reader will maybe spend 1-2 seconds looking at a single panel.
Obviously, really big panels or something like a 2 page spread will get more attention from the reader but for a normal panel, detail isn't needed.
Also you get a much bigger 'wow'-effect when your normal panels have little detail and look simple and then your big and important panels are full of detail and shading etc.

When I read manga/comics I sometimes spend more time looking at the speech bubbles and reading the dialogue compared to looking at the characters, let alone the backgrounds of each panel.

But I get it. You want to go all out and show what you're capable of, even in normal, boring panels.
Restraining your power level and knowing when to go all out takes practice and skill.
