A limit of two terms in the US senate would still allow for a total career of 12 years — 4 years more than any president.
A 3-term cap would give 18 years, two more than any two presidents combined.
That’s a long way from being a newbie.

Term limits to me seem to be one of those obvious solutions that are almost impossible to fix after the creation of a government. How do you convince politicians to vote against their own self interest? Especially with term limits, where you would need 2/3s of them to do so.
