While your other points I'd mostly agree with, this one you're swimming against the stream here.
It's a pretty standard convention to separate episodic and feature content. There's usually different data sources for each, as well as episodic content being different in structure.
It's probably possible to get all of them to live in the one directory, but if you want a better experience from just about any of the media centre software - you're going to have to get used to separating them.
Ideally something like:
/data/movies/<movie name>/
/data/tv/<series name>/season <season number>/
