#{ key := Value } = Map

There are currently only injection operators available for maps in the
syntax and no availability of projection operators. The closest thing you
get to a projection is maps:get/2 indeed. As for the nested case:

nest_lookup([], V) -> V;
nest_lookup([K|Ks], M) ->
    nest_lookup(Ks, maps:get(K, M)).

And you are ready to do nested lookups:

nest_lookup([a,b,c], Map).
