No, not at all--new packages have not had to worry about putting things anywhere but /usr for a long time. Only old packages (for which the work you described had been done years, if not decades, ago) needed logic to split things up, and that required essentially zero ongoing effort. The benefits you describe came from elminating the requirement that a system boot from / without /usr being mounted, and don't require moving anything.
