Why that? Just set the default LimitNOFILE= in the unit file, and then
let the admin override it using the normal ways to override unit
files, either by adding drop-in .d/ files in /etc/systemd/system/ for
it, or by copying the unit file from /usr/lib/systemd/system/ to
/etc/systemd/system and editing it there. (Which is pretty much what
"systemctl edit" makes easy to do)

No. Unit files shipped in /usr/lib are not to be modified. People
should either override or extend them in /etc. And that's the same for
all unit files.

.d/ drop-ins are not overwritten like this...
