Last time I was knee deep in managing prod Kube infrastructure limits were also there for scheduling purposes. It's hard to properly allocate services across nodes when there is no concept of requirements they have. I guess you can get around that with setting a request versus a limit?

Pod scheduling is based on Requests so you can definitely go without setting a limit. I don't think the limit itself plays a role in Kubernetes scheduling (unless you don't specify a request, then limit equals request). And you are definitely right: scheduling a pod without request/limit is like giving a blank check.
