Keep it simple make sense, but a 2-of-3 can't apply or satisfy to all cases. How do you see multisig applied at different levels, for both cold storage, transactional and cache?
The cold storage with a 2-of-3, will always be predominantly receiving predefined UTXO let's say at 0.1BTC (only if the business is profitable obviously). A transactional account could have another 2-of-3 multisig to manage extra expense but also receive payments bigger payments from clients. And a third cash level to where, as you suggested, medium managers/signers can deal with smaller amounts and less important multisigs or singlesig.
Would this setup decrease risk of exposing the cold storage and distribute assets and responsibilities following the merkle tree each organization already has?
You can apply this scheme on many different levels you need or your business flow request it. It's up to you how you organize the size of the levels.
That's why is important to have a cache level (mid-level) where somebody is doing all the management and funds allocation.
To reduce the risk, the best way is to compartmentalize the access, if you have more people managing at daily basis the funds. I learned this when I worked as IT systems guy in a bank, long time ago (that's why also my guide is named "think like a bank).
Multiple wallets, on multiple levels, with different access level. Is not easy, I know, but you are limiting a lot the leaks and losing funds.
The income txs is simple: always use xpubs (read-only wallets). In this way, anybody without signing keys can manage the accounting without having any option to move them (or steal).
