In a way, you gave feedback on the wiki, so for that, thanks ;-)
I have made the lines on the wikipage bold, hopefully this will help in
future.

I don't think you can do what you are trying to do with POSIX ACLs, but
you may be able to do this with Windows ACLs, read this:

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_Share_Using_Windows_ACLs

Set the ACLs on the share first, then on the directories beneath them.
