Should work fine. I don't know if there is some limitations on length of paths and filenames, but I suspect not.

I create and maintain a folder tree, with around 4 000 books, on my NAS, using calibre. Folders for genres mainly.

Then I use the app FolderSync to sync the folder tree to my device over wifi. I mainly use the folders to create "collections" in Mantano, to make it a little easier to find books.

If you want to see the folder tree as you navigate it, you need some file manager that does that. I belive Xplore File Manager is one example, but I suspect there are many more.
