Simple really, just like the choice of having crits on/off it would be nice if a map author could choose testing to happen with a certain item whitelist, like e.g. ETF2L weapon bans.
Making a separate item_whitelist file is not really hard at all and they can be changed on the fly (but I think it requires a map restart so that'd have to be done before mapchange). Ideally it could be automated just like the crits should be automated to be on/off depending on author's choice
You could say banning items like the Wrangler could skew testing since some SG spots would be a lot less viable but to be fair it adds more flaws to maps than it added fun in the first place, plus all the old maps had no Wrangler either and normal Sniper sightlines still apply
