There are other countries that can cause trouble for you with US immigration (at the port of entry or during naturalization) if you visit them, even if there is no explicit ban ... Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, Yemen, Syria.

Except for proof that you went to Cuba, I don't think travel to any countries would be a problem as long as that the applicant really was not in those countries for clandestine purposes.
