Layers are all about sharing setup across a set of tests, which means
they risk breaking test isolation.  I normally don't use layers for
anything which is a pure "unit test," but can see the point for
"function" or "integration" tests.

Are there a specific set of tests you have in mind which have
significant setup / teardown costs?
