  • If I understand right, Electrum currently supports only bech32 addresses and these are not backward compatible with old addresses. Is there any desktop wallet that allows you to create nested SegWit addresses?

Electrum gives you a choice of legacy or bech32. Also, when used with a hardware wallet, it generates nested SegWit addresses. I believe nested addresses can also be achieved by specifying a custom derivation path.
