So, would an L7 engineer report to an L7 manager? Or there is a sort of limit on what levels would be direct or what levels?



Yes, N level managers manage ICs and managers to N level. There are occasional strange cases where there is a L5 manager with a L6 IC report because of a weird org structure (small engineering team assigned to a non-tech org), but that isn't normal.
