Based on the comments here, it sounds like repurposing a boolean "verbose" mode and having that verbose mode actually be multi-state is confusing.
It might be worth considering a "verbose level" type setting with a selection of levels that describe the level of verbosity. Effectively, use a select menu instead of a boolean when one boolean state is actually multiple nested states.
Edit: I realised my use of "verbose" and "verbosity" here is it self ironically verbose, sorry!
