QOL with managing Inventory

They also limit stack sizes on certain things for balance reasons, for instance 99 stacks of echo drops would make silence as a debuff completely toothless.

That's just silly. There is no difference between 1 stack of 99 or carrying multiple stacks of 12. What even is that. It's just.... convenient.

It limits the number you're likely to carry on hand. While its a bit of a stretch to call it a balance concern today considering how cheap they are vs how much gil everyone has, it was probably the intention initially.

The point is, whether an item stacks 12 or 99 was decided for items on an individual basis, so there are reasons.

Unless you get silenced 24+ in one 2hour instance, yeah, no. It's merely a convenience not having to go back to the moogle again.

There ARE fights in the game that are that annoying.
