If I am writing an application, I do structure my test into similar packages with the main sourcesets

12/28/2023, 2:03 PMThis package shadowing mainly comes from java as a hack as it allows accessing package-private members in main from tests (since they both get merged into the same package). Since kotlin does not have package-private visibility, this benefit goes away

If you define your "unit" in "unit tests" as a target class, then shadowing kinda makes sense still since you have a clear mapping of a test class per source class. For wider "units" in unit tests and integration tests I'd avoid package shadowing and instead structure them by feature.
