I only use the mailing lists and I don't see your problems at all.
I've set up my google mail account in such a way that all mails from a
specific list get the list's name as label attached and that they don't go
through the normal mail entry. In Thunderbird these labels appear as IMAP
folders. So no clutter here.
Additionally I use threaded view and as long as no one('s client) messes up
the list-ID that also works without problems. How do you think Gmane
manages to keep track of the structure? It also uses information contained
in the mails...

Regards,
Sven
