2 years ago I need to figure out which situations I should display labels in...please let me know if you'd like to try the following approach:
- Display did elements that include containers like table-rows. In this case, elements other than containers are collected in the rightmost column where each element gets a label, like "title".
- When did elements do NOT include containers, display each child as its own one-cell row in the table-like output. (In other words, display each child as a block level element.) In this case, do not generate labels.
(1) is already happening- the difference in (2) is that in situations like the one you mentioned above, labels like "title" won't appear. Most of the children of did elements are unittitle, unitdate, and unitid elements, so hopefully they will be understandable without labels.
Please let me know if you want to try it like this.
The second part of this is balancing the visual weight of things like "Scope and Content" and "Series I: Administration" in your example. This is a little trickier, so I'd like to split that out into a separate issue once we've finished this part.

Example is the ACLU Illinois (Uchicago) collection. https://bmrcportal-test.lib.uchicago.edu/view/?id=BMRC.UOC.ACLU_IL.xml#idp61012480
Above the "Series I" as well as the Subseries sections, it's not necessary to put the heading "Title". For reference, here's how it appears on the UChicago site: Subseries 1: Administration and Finance Box 1 Folder 1-2 Access Reports, 1971-1978 Box 1 Folder 3 ACLU Executive Director's Conference, June 12-15, 1975 .....
Label for "Series I: Administration" should stand out more, and definitely would not be less noticeable than the scope and content note for the series below. It's good that the Label for the Series note is different than the label for the Overview scope and content note though.
