Can you elaborate how exactly you find it limiting? Granted most Indian classical music historically has been monophonic and the compositions focussed on the melody. Even though it is primarily melodic and lyrical, the microtonal nature of the ragas provides the musician with a tremendous amount of room for improvisation. We've barely scratched surface of what is possible with microtonal harmony.
There are so many musicians, though rooted in tradition have pushed the definition of Indian classical music, like John McLauglin and his band shakti for example [0] or anything Berklee Indian Ensemble does. [1] or the carnatic take five [2]

Not entirely true, there are a huge repertoire of compositions which string together multiple compositions flowing from one scale/raga to another under _ragamalika_. [0] The tradition is quite vast and it is only limited by the artist's imagination than the framework itself. Jazz improvisation, especially the coltrane changes were heavily influenced by Indian classical music. [1].

Indian classical music, especially carnatic has a tremendous amount of music theory. I highly recommend T.M. Krishna's "A Southern Music: The Karnatik Story"[0] or this strangeloop talk [1]
