Sub-subcategory issues?

My forum really benefits from sub-subcategories (and sometimes deeper than that, but sub-subcategories would already be good enough).

I saw that it can be done here:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/number-of-subcategories/146632/11?u=alltiagocom
and here:
https://meta.discourse.org/t/sub-sub-categories/139309/7?u=alltiagocom
even though they seem to offer slightly different solutions (or so it seems, due to my lack of knowledge in that area).

But then I see some users saying there are a few issues when using 3 levels of categories.

Are those a real thing or just some forum specific issues? Meaning, are those Discourse issues, or those users’ forum issues in particular? Anyone with enough experience with this to share their feedback?

Also, on those 2 solutions to create the 3rd level, why both ways of doing it (if they are indeed different)?
