As it stands now, most recruitments require the entire chapter to vote on a pnm based on the input of the very limited number of actives who had a chance to talk to her. PNMs, too, have to make a choice based on their limited interaction with a few members. That's the reality, whether the whole chapter is actively rushing or not.

If we're talking about the idea of limiting rushers for formal just as a theoretical strategy:
we should keep in mind that with more than 1000 PNMs at UGA for formal and the nature/quality of the photos girls send in, I'm not sure the chapter really does always completely recognize everyone they know in real life until the actual parties. And unless you're talking about limiting the number of rushers to under what it would take to single rush, there are girls who wouldn't be busy with PNMs who can float and met girls, but there'd be triple this number if you didn't limited rushers.
I understand your point about the issues of MS at large recruitments, but I'm not sure that limiting rushers wouldn't make the problem even worse.
For informal, I don't think it's a big deal and with the relatively small size of the PNM pool might actually keep it from being awkward and overwhelming for the PNMS. I suspect they will still have actual conversations with the same number of members they would have in formal.
