If sucrase production was limited people would be able to easily poison themselves by eating too much sucrose. Sucrose intolerance from sucrase deficiency seems pretty rare though and I’ve never heard that your body regulates the breakdown of sucrose. Seems rather that the body makes how ever much sucrase is necessary to make sure the enzyme is not the limiting factor.
I think to a first order, sucrose really is 50% fructose to the human body.
