and even if this scenario were not in play, do we need depth 24 because there are /8s out there? at that point, why bother with limits?
This is my point. Nobody can answer if the really needed limit is "2" or maybe "3", or some really complex business structure might need "5" at some point.
On the other hand, nobody has explained what the problem is in "just not having a hard limit, besides the built-in hard limit of the number of bits".
I'm not sure whether there's a real problem but I am confident that speaking with users and asking why is never a bad idea. Explaining internal processes and their reason in public can be challenging. But a quick, friendly chat can't do any harm.
