I agree. As long as your nested regions are labelled with enough context to the meaning of the region then nest to your hearts/region content.

Without meaningful/accessible labels on the regions, however, you'll find yourself in region soup where people who use assistive technologies won't be able to understand the layout of your pages.

Meaningful regions are as important as meaningful links, and proper heading structure, in my humble opinion. Accessibility and WCAG compliance is all about usability at the core.

Cheers,
