Well, it depends on how limited you feel.
Traditional paneling can still be seen in the scrolling format. I know I still do a little bit of that traditional paneling, and I feel a lot of us still do.
It's not a quick shift when you try something new. You ease into it, taking what you learn from other mediums to try different ones.
That said, I don't really miss anything in compared to traditional page comics? Rather, there is just a new shift on how you reveal key details and moods. For example -- there was a previous point of revealing a one page spread?
With scrolling format, you don't have that feeling of turning that page for that one page. BUT, you do have the effects of colors and easing into the mood. For example, look at this piece from my own work:
See how the colors blend into the background to change the mood and then show the one page spread? While it's not the same as turning the page, it still delivers that effect by using colors. You know how you're watching a horror movie and the character's movement matches with the pace of the background music or the mood? It's leaning more towards that.
The thing about "traditional panels" vs "scrolling panels" is that they use different ways to reach the same goals. It's not that certain features don't work anymore -- it's just that the translation becomes different. The key is figuring out how to mesh them together into something that works for you.
