The problem is that you can't know how best to choose or much less set a limiter until you know exactly what the final level of the master needs to be.

Some instruments like congas can sound a lot better with some peak limiting which is when it should be applied. Limiting stuff in a mix that doesn't make a profound improvement is pointless and could easily work against the sound of the final master.
