There's a long list of potential games the team could undertake next, why limit themselves to an IP they already know isn't a heavy hitter? 

Because it's still a success. And they wouldn't limit themselves. There's plenty of time for Mario Kart and other new IP to come from Yabuki and the team. But ARMS is a successful new property that can grow a little with another game before all that. 

Let's look at it from a business POV; Nintendo in the MK8 squad have a team that is capable of making AAA 10+ million sellers. To then handcuff that team to an IP that's proven itself lacking in longevity and real hardware/software selling potential simply makes no logical sense.
