BookStack dev here. When originally building BookStack, I did initially built it with infinitely nestable pages since it seemed like the "technically better" approach that didn't limit user content, but in use it just made UX and discovery a pain, especially for the mixed-technical-skill workplace environment I was targeting, which is when I landed on the book > [chapter >] page setup (With shelves being a late awkward addition based upon demand). Good to hear that works for you. Is often the love-it-or-hate-it factor of the platform.
