As you touched on, the major problem with Jira is actually that it does so much nobody (roughly) knows how to use it.

You get 3 levels if you include Epic (Epic > Task > Subtask).

You can set up a sprint/kanban board filter to cover multiple projects, so this does actualy gives you multiple projects per sprint.

I do agree that it's slow and doesn't update itself to reflect changes.

The two groups of people who hate Jira the most are (1) those who can't get it to work how they want it to and (2) those who have to deal with someone else's mad/broken custom workflow.

If you're Enterprise enough, you can have a lot more levels than that!

We appear to have four levels of grouping above "Epic", albeit none of them are even visible in our sprints.

Indeed but that's still an artificial limitation, and subtasks are not really fully featured tasks.
