Nested tables work just fine if they are well defined. Check out a tables tutorial (http://lua-users.org/wiki/TablesTutorial). That code clearly contains a lot of syntax errors, e.g. missing commas and other issues. This needs to be fixed in your generator.

Those huge tables should probably be split them into more manageable pieces and the code-editor for lua will cough blood when it tries to do syntax highlighting, unless it is disabled. For example, the level information might be in another module where the levels link up to which "realities", along with information about its name and so forth.

Generally speaking though, lua tables are not designed to be used as miniature databases (there are separate lua tools for that) and that's one of the reasons wikidata was created. Anyway, depending on how they are processed they may actually make the page take long to load or simply fail. So it might be a good idea to optimize  how it is stored and retrieved.
