That's not what the Remo in YD 95:6 seems to say.

SA 95:6: One may place a jug of milk next to one of meat inside a box.
Remo: And there are those who are stringent Lechatchila, and it's good
to be stringent Lechactchila in a when possible.

The Remo says: And there are those who are stringent Lechatchila, and
it's good to be stringent Lechactchila in a when possible.

No we don't; never occurred to me that it was needed - and I've never
seen anybody do it. Is that your custom?

But maybe it's a good idea. However, the milk could still spill onto
the meat below (or vice versa) which seems to be more than "a problem"
- it may be actually forbidden to live with this constant possibility.

No. It's not a jug; it's a plastic bag with the corner cut off.
