Sulu Content Type YAML configuration limits for nested references

Structuring Complex Content Models
Sulu CMS utilizes YAML-based configurations to define Content Types, allowing for the creation of structured data through various field types and entity references. When designing complex content models, there is a need to balance data depth with system performance.
A specific concern arises when implementing deeply nested references or recursive content structures. While the system supports referencing other content entities, the impact of high-level nesting on the administrative interface and the decoupled presentation layer is not explicitly quantified in the documentation.
What are the architectural limits regarding the depth of nested references within a single Content Type definition? Does the system impose a hard limit on reference nesting to prevent performance degradation during content retrieval?
