But is this pretty limited given the small number of instructions? I know more complex programs will result but as a result of higher level language work and OS development.

It's actually the other way around -- you can do quite a bit more with an assembly-language program than you will be able to do with a program written in a higher-level language because those programs come with the inevitable overhead. That's the tradeoff for being able to work at a higher level of abstraction than assembly, which makes it easier to develop and debug your programs.
