Can someone help me to understand using self-signed certificate for BIGIP LTM box falls in non-compliant as long as our device will be accessed only by network administrators?

Hello NetWork.

 

Self-signed certificates cannot be used to authenticate sites.

Base on this, someone accesing one specific device cannot be sure that the device which is accesing belong to the person/company that user thinks it belongs.

 

To be more precise, someone could be performing a MITM attack in that communication and you couldn't be aware of that.
