Akavir will likely remain the mysterious eastern continent for quite some time. It is extremely unlike that Bethesda will make an Elder Scrolls game there in the near future.

As for ESO limiting the creativity for a game on Tamriel, no it doesn't. Since the current timeline in the main TES games are in the third century of the 4th Era it is over 1000 years after ESO. Bethesda can still continue with their own thing because of this, so they can still make their own vision of how the other provinces should look and feel.
