No you couldn't because the 12 allowances is an additional limitation to the individual limitation of each beast tribe.
You could have 100 allowances per day, as long as you can only do 3 Pixie dailies per day (6 with a rank up), you'll not getting anything done within a day.

Timegating keeps your sub running.
With how many beast tribes we now have, 12 per day is laughable but it ensures that you stay subbed in order to get all the beast tribe goodies. Let's not pretend this is out of sheer worry for their players' health and that we'd suddenly drop down dead because we forgot to eat if they increased it by a bit or removed some of the oldest beast tribes from counting towards your allowance.
