I would be careful about reading Advaita Vedanta interpretations such as Shankara's as a commentary to the Upanishads, they are extremely reliant on Buddhist philosophy (Shankara is called a "cryptobuddhist" by most Hindus, and most scholars agree). If you want to read the Upanishads, work through them with editions and commentaries that aren't sectarian, or at least read an interpretation that is closer to the original meaning of the Upanishads, rather than Shankara's 9th century AD quasi-buddhism.

They're monist because they can only count to one.

What is wrong with incorporating Buddhist critques and developments in philosophy? All theories of ontology and ethics should at the least be able to respond to a Buddhist critque and will be changed by it.

The Enneads of Plotinus needed a second ontological description of matter after the first was found to be vunerable to dualism by Gnostics. Philosophy is a living enterprise.
