I think the reason why we don't see much variety in shinobi is to avoid a "jack of all trades, master of none" scenario. Of course, it would have been interesting to see people add a little extra something to their techniques. For example, Kumo uses a lot of kenjutsu, but we didn't see much variation there. The most creative thing I recall was Atsui adding Fire Release to it. Per Jin no Sho, Hinata had fire and lightning. Why not see some elemental Gentle Fist for some extra effects? Neji had three natures, imagine elemental Kaiten? Non OP characters aside, that would be a person sized elemental quasi-Rasengan. When Naruto "gave" Konoha 11 Rasengan to use against Obito, imagine if they had been able to add their own spin to it? I've had so many ideas about techniques, not even elemental like most would think, that I kinda wish I had patience to write fanfic. Something else I would have liked, that I think a lot of people agree, is more actual plot with the jinchuriki and their tailed beasts. Not just meeting most of them as Edo Tensei. See their actual Akatsuki fights and all.
