You don't need all of that, but you can create all that structure if
you'd like.

tomcat-juli.jar can still live in CATALINA_HOME/bin (unless is
something very specific to Netbeans deployments).

You don't need it all. Really, only server.xml is required.

I've started doing this:
<Context
docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/manager"
...
Since I never deploy from CATALINA_HOME, I can always rely on the
manager sitting there in the webapps/ directory. Actually, in order to
avoid synchronization issues between package-managed manager.xml and
whatever ships with Tomcat, we just wrote an XSL transform that adds a
docBase to the stock
CATALINA_HOME/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/context.xml. So we keep
up-to-date with anything that gets changed in there from release to
release.

This is the one thing I haven't bothered to do yet for our
deployments. We need a JDBC driver and I usually just drop it into
CATALINA_HOME/lib and call it a day. Many times I've been bitten by
that when I install a new version of Tomcat and try to launch the
webapp, realizing that the JDBC driver wasn't in place.
We don't package-manage the driver and we don't use Maven or anything
like that to go auto-download dependencies or anything crazy like
that, so it's not currently a part of the application build process at
all.
