Kallyr is not the issue. She is unique in many ways so that anything she is or does which doesn't fit the Vingan mould is because she's Kallyr. Like player characters she does all sorts of strange things which shouldn't work but sometimes do.
The issue is that we have a defined cult of Vinga which allows for considerable variation and is now being narrowed down by restrictions. Not just "Clan X Vingans are only allowed to have sexual relations with other women." but "Vingans in Sartar are only allowed to have sexual relations with other women". The former is easy to incorporate in games and stories - Clan X is strange - the latter almost impossible.
