For writing though, it is limiting perhaps, but only if the point of the story is the drama of the relationship. If the point is how the duo plays off of what happens to them, it's no more or less limiting than any other relationship. Which is to say, if you inject conflict involving outside parties (e.g. most stories) the focus is then on how the two deal with it as well as with each other.
If you make a story that revolves around the dynamic of the duo, not everything has to be about how they cuddle or fuck, though that's certainly a plus in times of great stress or relief.
If you're writing about a Spec Ops agent for instance, you're now writing about two agents and how each's strengths and weaknesses could jeopardize a mission. Following that, all dangers are not only twofold, but come with the added considerations from one character to another, ensuring that both of them make it out okay.
TL;DR, "boring" relationships aren't the best for stories ABOUT relationships, but can work excellently for stories about things happening to people; you're just applying a duo dynamic.
