User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
When creating a custom field of type Subform, you can select the child fields that you want as part of the Subform.
In the current situation, the dropdown of fields selection doesn't allow to select a Subform to be nested inside a Subform. This was probably done to avoid cluttering the interface too much if somebody wanted to do it.
But there is a legimitate use for this and somebody may want to intentionally have a nested Subform inside a Subform. I am currently having a legitimate use case where I want a Subform inside a Subform and I can't do it because of this limitation. There is no reason to have this limitation, let the user do it if they want to.

Is an endless loop considered here? subform1 -> subform2 -> subform1
I don't think so, so maybe we should check for recursion at some point (rendering or saving)
It's not considered, but then again, that would be the user that purposely breaks the form by doing something like that. It's not different then embedding a module inside another module which embeds the module itself, etc. I don't think we need to cover the case where the user does something dumb
