I would like some sort of feature, where you can somehow separate tasks of a card into smaller groups.

An idea

Trello's multiple tasks come up to mind, but I can see how that can complicate a lot of stuff, so as an alternative, I propose separators (headings).

Separators will work like normal tasks, but won't contribute to the percentage completion, won't have a checkbox and will be bold by default:

Notice that the progress bar is 2/3 of the way there!

and could either not be shown in the listing menu of a card:

or show them in bold, and without the dash in the front:

Of course, I'll be more than happy with anything that implements some sort of task grouping, this is just an idea I had.

To be honest I think the point of not showing tasks in the percentage view is more confusing that helpful.
You have either tasks or not. If there are optional considerations to a card then they can easily been written in the description. Or even better - open another card and name it something like "Optional tasks".

Yeah, that's true, but I guess I have a habit of even further organizing tasks from Trello so I though something like this would be nice. It could also not be formatted like a normal task, maybe have a button "Add heading" and even further change the style, so it's different from normal tasks (maybe bigger font and underline or something like that).

Also implementing multiple tasks (with titles) is also an option, although I feel like it will be a very very big feature to implement that probably isn't worth it that much.

Speaking of Trello - that's my problem exactly. We have clients who refuse to use it because it provides too much options. It's not that simple anymore and the border between users and power-users have become to wide now.

We've put that on the list of feature to consider anyway. Maybe we can think of something differently here.

Thank you! Of course, I don't think it will be a big deal if you decide to drop the feature. Thank you for the work on the project!
