From [bunpro.jp]

Both とは限らない and わけではない challenge assumptions, but in different ways. わけではない denies a specific inference or interpretation, e.g. 'it's not the case that (A)', while とは限らない emphasizes exceptions, e.g. 'just because (A), it's not always (B)'.

ともかぎらない is a "similar" expression to とはかぎらない (Handbook, page 388). Of my 4 default grammar resources, the も version is only mentioned in the Handbook.
