Can it do embeddable sub-forms and grids, like good ole MS Access? Like, I've got a grid on the main form showing multiple rows, I click on a row and it refreshes two sub forms, one showing a form view of additional fields of the selected record, and the other shows multiple rows from a child table?

If I understand correctly, this feature is currently supported. You can try the Sales CRM template https://template.teable.io/t/recHJEzSkIZ1IpjltNZ . In the first table named Opportunities, if you expand the first row, that might be exactly what you're looking for.
That's not quite as functional as MS Access could do (though, maybe it's possible but you don't have a demo), but it is quite nice.

This whole app looks extremely promising, for my purposes it looks very close to something that I could build a huge database on top of, I am going to keep it in mind and try to get some time to play with it, I hope you guys keep moving it forward because it is slick!

With adequate features, I could see this being something that consultants could use to go in and write impressive custom database software in a month or so for companies like used to be so common, I think it would be a great way for junior people to get into the IT business, with a few caveats of course.
