We are using -nested very successfully to break a large area of related but mostly independent sub-areas into multiple fossils. I'm very happy with it.
BTW, the whole reason why the modern SCM approach used by fossil, git etc. is so powerful is because the number of degrees of freedom were reduced by eliminating working on subsets of the file tree. If you add back in the ability to subdivide the file tree then you will have to add complexity to deal with branching and merging. Just my $0.02.
