Have you looked at Jerakia? (disclaimer: I maintain it) You're requirements
are almost identical to what lead to it's development in the first place
and this use case isn't too dissimilar from the use case in the example
here;
https://www.craigdunn.org/2015/09/solving-real-world-problems-with-jerakia/

With that you can have multiple lookups each with their own datasource /
hierarchy but confine or exclude the lookups from the search based on a
customizable criteria such as the team....etc.  So you could route lookup
requests originating from the oracle module to an entirely different lookup
and set of data but that lookup won't get used for other modules.... Sounds
like it would probably solve your issue without having a giant hierarchy
that get scanned for every single key.
