Best way to import Albums?

Most of my family's photos are currently in Nextcloud in the format
./YYYY/MM/img-date-time.ext
./YYYY/MM/img-date-time.ext
Currently importing these as external libraries and it's working great.

I have another set of assets that are old and lacking in metadata organised in folders like:
-
./Event-YYYY
./Event-YYYY

-
./Birthday-YYYY
./Birthday-YYYY


And wondering how best to import these and retain the current folder structure.

Prior to the release of the libraries feature I was going to use the read-only mode and utiise the
--album
--album
CLI parameter, but I'm a little uncertain of the read only modes future.

Related question, is there any documentation on using the CLI to manage assets with the new Libraries feature?
