I do agree with BBB about the idea of this becoming a bit too much, and becoming distracting in and of itself, I think you need to consider two things:
1. Users here wouldn't use this sub-topic tool all that much, and you wouldn't find it cluttering up a thread at all. This would prove to be less distracting, and also provide those that would need this feature an easy group to talk with in their sub-topic. The point here is quite simple: If you use the feature, you really only want to talk to those who are willing to think enough to use the feature too. If a user has no longing to use this feature, they will probably not be willing to give much thought to their discussions. Of course, that is a bit of an assumption, and should not be taken at face value.
2. We are, sooner or later, going to receive an influx of new users, and with new users, come plenty of topics. With this tool, perhaps we can cut back on repeat topics, or similar topics. Take for example the stat here about topics and you can see that we are plagued with repeat topics.
Both are just minor concerns that would promote the idea at hand. I do think that if it were to be considered, serious aesthetic discussion should be had, as actual implementation of the tool should be done right the first time. Aesthetically, the looks of this tool can make or break it's usefulness for a lot of users.
