If like you said, --"totally tightly coupled solution is overkill."--
,than I can agree with you :P
But alright, to plug in on this matter. As I found out it's not hard to
lose the tight coupling.
The hard part is to find a system that works fast and intuitive for you.
Once you found or created one, you'll be happy to reuse that system,
even for simple setups and for the simple reason that it is YOUR OWN (
or preferred ) loosely coupled (event) system.
At that click you will find out that it that it can work more for you
than against you or against your speed.
Integrating a loosely coupled flow also helps you in creating your own
app-paradigm and workflow and enables you to start or reopen a project
faster.
You now know the best place to implement and to listen for that shout.
And a lightyear later when you look back into your crappy-small-app code
of the past, you will smile and think:
Nice try but I know better now ;)

I completely agree with this as I've been in exactly the same
situation with a largish scale project. The sort of projects I tend to
do are small scale games for which the totally tightly coupled
solution is overkill. However, I've eaten my words on that point as
well...

Alright, since I asked the question, I'm piping in. I just finished
a project that became immensely complicated precisely because I
eventually had everything tightly coupled. Had I used custom events
and done some other things from the get go, I'm nearly certain it
would have been easier to do my updates. With the tight coupling of
that project, it would be difficult for anyone else to go into it in
the future.
In smaller one-off projects, I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm
trying to force myself to get in the habit of loosely coupling
everything, via custom events.
