In this case the hierarchy depth will be limited by the current value in
state. This is probably not a good idea, as it might fluctuate to slightly
larger values in the posterior.

There is no performance penalty in increasing the hierarchy depth (within
reason), as the the time it takes to update a hierarchy level with very few
nodes/groups is negligible.
