I don't know anyone using a limiter when tracking. Using a compressor when tracking is different and pretty normal when you have it set to a low ratio (i.e. 2:1 or 4:1) with the threshold set to just shave off any peaks that might come through. Generally the needle doesn't move much when tracking. It's more for smoothing.
