There's really no point to limiting item uses. The percentage of how often you'll get each item is based on your place in the race. For example, you'll almost never get a lightning bolt or star unless you're in 7th or 8th place. Whereas if you're in first place you'll generally be stuck with green shells and banana peels.
It's a built in "catch-up" mechanism that every Mario Kart has had.

And despite being slightly unfair, it works amazingly well at what its designed to do: Keep the races interesting.
