I'm not sure a 2 piece will help that much, but it's worth a try. I sometimes play just snare (with some guitarists) and it's fun. I use the rim a lot.
I would say maybe try a 3 piece (FT) if you want to force yourself to do different things.
Like you said, I've actually found taking a break can make me do more creative things. I guess it's because you get stuck in ruts with your fills, etc... when you are playing all the time.
