Don't be so sure.  Ask 'Iwvan or nIchyon.  There is no shortage of existing
natural languages which manage fine with very restricted relative clauses
(though I think that's restrictions on which noun can be the head-noun, not
the role of the clause in the matrix.  And regarding that, we have canon,
the line about fools fighting in a burning house).
