Summary
Is the SimpleFS still restricted to one level of folder depth?
Details
According to the current docs, the app data is (per app) consisting of one root holding many folders each holding only files. The current interface on the server indicates that folders can themself hold other folders rendering a recursive tree-like structure possible.
So, @nextcloud/server, I would ask for clarification (here in the chat) about the current possible limitations of the app data interface. Then, the documentation can be adopted accordingly.

Research direction
Start with the linked Simple Filesystem documentation and inspect ISimpleFolder.php at the referenced lines. Confirm with the Nextcloud server maintainers whether nested folders are supported; once clarified, update the appdata documentation to describe the actual folder-depth limitation or recursive structure, and verify the revised wording against the interface.
