There's a package for Emacs that has a similar idea: https://github.com/istib/rainbow-blocks

Just showing off how nice lisp can look in prism-mode. Check reply for the config :)
Heh, seriously, though, it's not necessary to use a rainbow of colors. You can use any number of colors and rotate through them. For example, this uses just 3 colors, gradually desaturating them as the depth increases. Since each color is easily distinguished from the other 2, it makes code very readable: https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el/raw/master/images/parens-0.5.png

How do I build a syntax highlighter based on S-Expressions?
If you can use tree-sitter, that's obviously a good choice. Alternatively, you can see how I implemented https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el, which isn't regexp-based, using Emacs's built-in syntax parsing instead.

Trying to find a package that colorizes file contents by indentation level.
I did some experimenting with supporting XML directly in https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el/issues/16. It seems that it's not easily done with existing Emacs SGML-related functions, but I'm guessing that tree-sitter will help a lot in Emacs 29.

How to combine highlight-parenthesis with rainbow-delimiters?
It's not exactly what you asked for, but you may also find this useful: https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el It can highlight parens distinctly too.

Change text appearance in buffer
As examples, I can recommend code in https://github.com/alphapapa/highlight-function-calls (simple) and https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el (more complex).

How to properly font-lock for a custom major-mode aka how to use complex regex?
The best advice I can offer is to carefully and repeatedly study the Elisp manual section on font-lock, and to model on the source code of a similar project. The most I've done with it is in https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el

rainbow-delimiters - Emacs rainbow delimiters mode
icomplete-vertical - Global Emacs minor mode to display icomplete candidates vertically
emacs-noob - A curated emacs set up intended to decrease the learning curve
vscode-extension-samples - Sample code illustrating the VS Code extension API.
fiveam-asdf - ASDF plug-in for defining test systems based on the FiveAM test library
WebViewFeedback - Feedback and discussions about Microsoft Edge WebView2
rainbow-identifiers - Rainbow identifier highlighting for Emacs
vscode-python - Python extension for Visual Studio Code
