Sorry, no.  This is age-old Emacs behavior, and changing it now would
be unthinkable.  There's nothing wrong with multiple recursive-edit
levels, if one knows what they are doing, and absolutely no reason to
exit recursive-edit when some buffer is killed, because the
recursive-edit level is not a buffer-local notion, it affects the
global Emacs state.  There are commands in Emacs that deliberately
enter recursive-edit, and they will be broken by your proposal.

If you want to do this locally, you can define a kill-buffer-hook to
do that.

I'm closing this bug.
