The biggest challenge I see with heading structure is the fundamental approach used by most CMS's. The page is no longer the "atom" or smallest component of the web. Pages now consist of modules, widgets, or components that authors can place most anywhere on a page. Most of these components should have a header, and this creates challenges for nesting headings. I'd love to hear how others approach this challenge. (The primary CMS on our campus is Adobe Experience Manager)
