Thank you very much.  I think your analysis is correct.

But this approach sounds inconvenient: I would have to maintain default
values of inner widgets in separate code locations (right?), and I would
also have to remember that I need to update the structure of the default
value of the "big" widget to be in sync with the structure of the widget
definition, should I once change it.

So, that the outer widget forces a value that I did not even specify
explicitly does not seem so useful to me.
