Mixed proficiency levels would be easier to handle, but aren't their certain dynamics (maturity, learning styles and abilities, etc.) that must be dealt with in those cases?
You are going to have those different dynamics in any class. If you were to tailor a class to their age, level, maturity and learning style, you're classes would be no bigger than 4 students. I just think that mixed levels will be easier to compensate for than mixed ages.

Also, I can forsee that if we divide according to age and according to proficiency, we could need a very large number of teachers.
This is also right. Ideally, your classes would be divided into appropriate age AND level groups. But, it's not always possible so you have the make due with what you got.
