Yes, just a bit more generic (and works on top of current StumpWM).

One of them is for my xterm-based modeline, one for notifications, one
is often IM+email (very like your sticky group).

Sometimes I switch to code+view (LaTeX+PDF or backend+website) usage of
the two large areas.

Right. 

I both like the current way, where the group is at top-level, and the other way where I'd have something like nested groups.

To be clear on what I mean, this is hopefully a better explanation:

Given

A, B = monitors

[A], [B] = the frame on an empty head/monitor, i.e. with no splitted frames, on monitors A and B.

{[A] [B]} = group containing said frames

{X}+ = group that's stuck to a head

Then {[A] [B]} is what we have now, and { {[A]}+ {[B]} } is what I'd like to have. Then a command to unstick a group to a head, which causes a merge of {[A]} + {[B]} into {[A] [B]}.
