Would it be easily possible to make actions contain actions or to have a container action? Might this help? If I am understanding this problem correctly it is more about display and easily working with it that it is about not being able to do it with many actions. So if one action was the container for many more within it, that should keep the display uncluttered and easy workable. They would then be expandable with the rotating triangles just like the object view. You could also perhaps effect all the sub-actions by changing the parent action, in a way like parenting works for objects. You could also work the NLA by just referencing the parent action.
