Yes, If you plan on sending out any mixes to get mastered, you are really restricting what can be done in the mastering stage by adding a limiter.

Make a mix for yourself to listen to if you want with a limiter on, but it is highly recommended to never to send a mix out for mastering with a limiter on.

Make the mix sound utterly awesome without worrying about volume.
