So wait, are we talking about limiting just the number of fits a player can bring into battle or actually how many "fits," as in copies of that fit still count as their own fit? Meaning once you run out of all the suits you brought in you agree limited to your infinite copy fits? If the second that would be awesome! Dust was originally pitched as a highly specializing shooter, yet now everyone is an omni soldier by default just because of how much SP we have. Limiting the actually number of fits (and copies) would still allow for omni soldiers but would put a lot of decision into if you want to bring in more of your favorite fit just in case you die a lot or a variety of suits to adapt with the battle but only have a little of each.
Would also put big emphasis on reviving teammates and narrow the gap between rich and not-rich since the rich won't be able to constantly spawn in another proto suit.
Make it happen!

How many kinds of fits you can bring into a fight at a time. I am not prepared to go full logistics mode with dust 514; I am not sure if Dust 514 players are ready for IRL mass on ship things yet nor likely ever will.
And why not? It's really not that complicated. "You get X number of cool fits per battle, use them wisely. After that you must use default fits" Dust wouldn't even be the first game to do this. Plus it makes sense (unless we're really bringing our entire inventory with us everywhere we go) and has NPE benefits as well as more end game strategizing.
If we're just limiting the number of fitting styles you can bring to a match than that's, well politely, not very interesting. I'd say consider that only if there is a considerable increase in performance, otherwise it's limiting for the sake of limiting.
