I do my object-oriented programming in Ada and I do not find myself
overwhelmed by the limitations you describe. Ada gives me the flexibility
I need when there is a need for a relaxing the strict guidelines of OOP,
allows me to select OOP at any level of functionality I find appropriate
for the creation of my solution space, and gives me the ability to leverage
the full range of checking a compiler ought to do in helping me to reduce
the number of errors I make in the early stages of my design and
programming.

Sometimes it is a simple as choosing good tools.
