Mythical man month: 10 lines per developer day

There should only be one using/try catch block on the highest level. All of the methods being called within that using block should just throw errors.

You could put the logic in attributes but I don’t consider a transaction a cross cutting concern. It would create a spooky action at a distance situation.

It's obviously highly dependent on the domain in which you work, but I would consider what you're saying to be a "business transaction" more than a "database transaction". If there is a 1:1 between the two then your way works. I tend to have situations where one business transaction is multiple database transactions. And the business transaction can succeed even if some of the underlying database transactions were to fail.
