It’s fine but you can’t really play sports or have a picnic or a barbecue or set up a slip n slide or many other fun activities that lawns are good for!

Also a dense jungle of food-bearing plants like tomatoes is highly susceptible to disease. Tomatoes need a lot of airflow to keep their leaves dry so they don’t develop powdery mildew.

if you're subsistence farming you won't have time for slip n slides

Maybe if you’re using 18th century farming technology. In the modern day we have things like drip irrigation and tractors. Even a 1940s tractor is more than enough for a 1 acre plot.

that increases your operating costs enormously though.

Not really. Drip irrigation is pretty cheap. As are old tractors.

The expensive part is buying an acre of land.
