Controllers are important for being gatekeepers, which can be adjusted (think middlewares which add security, logging or other changes uniformly) and inspected outside of the MVC code, and separates outside from inside.

It might be worth the tradeoff in the short-term, but it's the lifecycle TCO of code counting support and modifications over many projects which will validate or invalidate a particular approach (there is also a cost in terms of hiring and learning curve for inventing an alternate convention).

I hope it works out.
