I had a look of the multiple extensions that seem to do that. And while some are close not do handle a tree view that can scale and works from one specific parent node. The XWiki tree view is AJAX but only works for a full space or wiki. Initially it had the tree from one parent in the spec but I tried it and I think it never really worked. Generally I don't like the XWiki tree view because it's very complex to debug and work with. Everytime I tried to have a look I had a really hard time to understand how it works.
The hierarchy macro is not AJAX and also takes the whole set (including the orphans). Now in view mode it might not be that complicated to make the hierarchy macro AJAX as there are already REST urls to read the childrens of a specific page. Another aspect that is also needed is some sort of way to "remember" what has been opened OR to open the tree on the page that is currently active. Another general issue is inserting a tree in a limited width panel, particularly when long titles are used. This causes CSS issues that are hard to handle. It might be needed to allow the width of the panel to auto-expand when the tree needs it. The hierarchy macro is interesting because it has a way to update your tree. It could also be interesting to add a feature to add a page in the tree.
