In the WP Admin, under Custom Fields > Field Groups – it would be amazing if I could categorize them into a hierarchical format, for my own organizational purposes.
Currently I am using the titles to help categorize them by reference, For (a very rudimentary, compared to my actual use-case) example:
This system is O.K. but my page of field groups gets really long, plus I don’t love having to choose between the site’s admins Seeing stuff like “Page Template: Home” at the top of the fields vs using the not-very-nice-looking “Seamless” layout.

This is actually a good idea. I have also wished on sites with many custom field groups for a way to better manage them.
ACF uses the standard post admin pages. This means that you can alter the list of posts to include other columns, for example a category, just like you can alter this list for any other post type.
I don’t see why you could not add a custom taxonomy to the acf-field-group
post type. This should add a standard tags or category box to the right side of the page to select a category.
The only thing that I’m not sure about would be sorting and filtering the list of groups by this new group category and you’d need to look into that.
I don’t think any of this is impossible.
I’m not the developer, so I can’t answer the other questions. You might be able to get an answer from the devs by opening a new support ticket here https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/new-ticket/
