Does design system kill creativity in the long run?

We built a very scalable design system for web and mobile app (Has B2B & B2C angle). But after a point I feel it's restricting the creativity especially for certain celebratory/sad events. Sure we can tweak the design system create variants and what not. At this point I feel just a very basic design system is enough to run the show. Anybody else feels this way? Thoughts?

Difference is between necessary and good to have, and eventually price/performance optimization rather than summarising it as a tweak
