For anyone who stumbles here, nested workers now have some support in Chrome at least: https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/6080438103703552:

Dedicated workers can create nested workers, but shared workers and service workers cannot.

Creating a nested dedicated worker from a shared worker is not yet supported.

Nested shared workers are also in the spec, but there is no plan to support them at this time.
