I wish unit training limits could be iterated by techs. Currently it can only be affected by 1 tech only. No way to allow for further techs to affect the limit after the first one.

That is true technically, but wouldn't there be a workaround:

Give a unit two classes A and B. The initial limit for classes A and B are 5 and respectively 10. Since limit for class A is 5, initially only 5 units can be produced.

Tech 1 raises the limit for class A to 20. Then after researching tech 1, B is the lowest limit and only 10 units can be produced.

Tech 2 raises the limit for class B to 20. Since now both limits are 20, 20 units can be produced.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Wouldn't this work?

I suppose that with a little change entity limits could use the upgraded requirements by Freagarach. You can now have much more complex requirements for other things

This could work, but isn't as straight forward as it could be and feels very hacky. You're right though that I could very well use it in a mod (DE), since half of modding is hacking what is already there and creating workarounds. Thank you for the idea, I may well use it.
