Right. If you're concerned about the limitations of ADMT, look to the third party migrators. Quest for example.
Using a script or .NET application could also do it. No point whatsoever in even guessing until you've assessed the situation in more detail :: "although I do not know yet if these DL's contain nested groups, or if that is even possible." If they don't contain nested groups, then off you go. If they do, it's likely they contain nested groups in the same domain which would later move anyway. Since they're not USG's, they're only purpose is as DL/DG's so recreating the one's with nested groups wouldn't be too tough at this point. Do your analysis and feel free to drop a note if you need some more help after that. I'm sure Microsoft likely told you same, but...
