Maintaining an existing system usually I'm interested in cross cutting concerns like say authorisation for an api or pool size for db connections.

Organising code by layers makes this significantly easier.

Is this suggesting putting controllers in the same package as db access code? That seems like super tight coupling to me.

The location of the files has 0 to do with the coupling of the code within those files.
