FYI,

"The Nested Set Model" has terrible insertion performance. Any row
inserted can cause the entire table to be updated. Not good.
Materialized path approaches tend to be better in every sense.

In postgres, "The Adjacency List Model" can be queried via WITH
RECURSIVE. This mitigates a lot of the downsides that the OP
mentions. I guess mysql does not have that feature?
