If we defer adding the <div>s for node until we see they needed (which may

<table class="menu">...</table>

I agree in principle. This would have to be optional (because
<section> is an HTML5 tag),
Browsers generally ignore tags they don't understand, so I believe
there is no harm in using <section> instead of <div>, even for older
browsers. However, this would need to be tested.
OTOH, if there is concern, there isn't really
much difference between:
<section class="chapter" id="Chapter1">
and
<div class="chapter" id="Chapter1">
The former is slightly more readable and explicit,
but in practice the difference is minor. Especially if
you add a stylesheet rule:
section { display: block }
