[1] When I say "tree persistance", I mean those cases like a -> b -> c, where view b persist because view a persists, even though b doesn't have a reference otherwise. Making both views a and b reference c directly allows for b to be freed when it is no longer used.

Yeah, but you're still keeping c alive, which is the real memory waste.
