I am wondering if a different style of nesting might be
suitable.

For example:

NEST=:  ;: '(345 * _2 + +/@:(+/%#) * ]) - ''hello''"_ , <.'
depth=: [: (-...@+./ #"1 i...@#@{. ,: 1 + 1 _1 +/\@:+/ .* ]) =/~&(;:'()')
group=: +/\"1@(+. _1|.!.1"1])@(>:/~ i.@(>./))@{:
gather=: [: ({."1 </. }."1)^:(1 < {:@$)L:0^:3 group |:@}.@, {...@]
nest=: ,L:0@ gather@ depth

   nest NEST

This implementation is a bit round-about, but is the underlying
concept valid for you?

Thanks,
