But again, how, do you think, could it be possible, to organize better a long text with 10 levels down to 6 levels? Any idea about that?

I have no idea how to restructure a text down to 6 levels and no experience.
Lets think more about that.

Hard to say without seeing the actual text. I am having a hard time even imagining anything beyond 7 or 8 (and even this is pushing it to the extremes).
What does the TOC currently look like?
In a compilation of multiple authors' entire books, you may see something like 6 headings:
- Author
-- Year
--- Book
---- Part
----- Chapter
------ Subchapter
In LaTeX, you are given access to 7 levels of headings:
- Part
-- Chapter
--- Section
---- Subsection
----- Subsubsection
------ Paragraph
------- Subparagraph
You say you have examples of 10 or 12 levels deep... I would be interested in how the author themselves are even citing locations within the book. It seems to me like it would get extremely unwieldy:
"As discussed in sections 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8-1.2.3.4.5.6.7.12, Tex said that so many subheadings would become confusing."
