I do acknowledge this, but I think the change would be into a really positive direction. I wouldn't hammer the idea down immediatly, be it in a hardcore mode or not.
And all those questions are really easy to answer:
1. Small amounts from fallen weapons and crates, complete restock from a gun crate. You won't have to stop because of no ammo unless you're badly wasting it, and that is the point.
2. Well this is the factor that actually does make balancing easier, because more powerful weapons can have less ammo and be more useful for a different meaning than another gun. E.g. MP5D would be really good in stealthy burst operations, but not shine in an open battlefield because you'd run frequently out of ammo (since you have to spam at long range). G36C wouldn't be as good in the said stealth operations because you'll alert the whole base on you.
3. There's no big difference to be honest, I myself like ammo pool more because I can keep on 2-shotting and reloading. It's instinctive somehow.
4. I'm sure you had trouble coming up with these three already, and the ammo amounts for specific weapons aren't that hard to think of. If you can find more fallacies.. I'll be glad to bring them down. Also more variables != harder balancing.. It depends on the variables. While adding ammo limitation does require extra effort put into the balancing, it doesn't make it harder. It opens up new gameplay possibilities.

Honestly I see no negatives in ammo limit at all.
