When I tried to put the Bible on my reader, tried various formats to get a copy of the bible that was usable (by usable, I mean able to get to any chapter quickly and be able to read comfortably). The only format that allowed me to accomplish those goals was epub. Despite the implication of the screens in calibre, I was only able to get a working multi level TOC out of epub. The fb2 format created a single large file that choked my reader (rebooted itself or required a reset) and the mobi format only gave me a single level TOC.
One question I have is, did I miss something in formats like mobi that would allow a multi layer TOC? If not, I'm pretty sure I will be sticking with EPUB for my own work since there does not seem to be any reason not to (at least not for me).

If MobiCreator generated a TOC for you (and it's complete), then editing the file it gave you is tedious but not difficult. You can give that file the appearance of a multilevel TOC.
But it sounds like you used calibre. You in effect automated the conversion, so that might be the reason it didn't turn out very well.
