Super long sentence short: You shouldn't be allowed to spend LTIR cap relief on other players who are already on LTIR with their current teams. (I believe other limits should be imposed as well, but the concept of not being able to spend injury relief on more injured players should be a no-brainer.)

That has always seems weird to me as well. I remember when the idea of allowing teams to exceed the cap with LTIR first came about. The purpose was so that teams could replace injured players. I don't think it was ever intended so that a team could acquire injured players without having to worry about their cap hit.
