except that it would have the same stack depth as the current

Not going to happen.

One final thing would work for you.  If you separated your
node data from the graph data and serialized the node data
first you would have no problem.  It could well be that
mixing the node data and grapharcs inside the same structure
might not be a great idea in any case.
