So I am not that fluent with automake/autoconf, but if I remove the AM_CONDITIONAL, is there value in keeping the AC_CHECK_FUNCS ?

the AC_CHECK_FUNCS is needed to create HAVE_PRLIMIT which you use later on :)
While it doesn't prevent all exploitations, it make like harder for a attacker who would want to spawn a shell or similar type of attack.
