IIRC Steve Purcell (who shares his config publicly for many other users) 
used to have mmm-mode apply sql-mode inside Ruby heredocs (which are 
fancy multiline strings, basically) that are "tagged" to contain SQL.

And here's somebody else who wanted to have html-mode inside a JS 
string: https://github.com/dgutov/mmm-mode/issues/142 The intermediate 
conclusion there is to use a ts-based config, though.

And as far as show-paren-mode goes, this might be something that 
mmm-mode itself could have workarounds for anyway.
