You have very different priorities on the pumpkin kin. The most
important ones, to me, are spaghetti squash and Sweet Mama.
Zucchinis aren't allowed anywhere near my garden; the four plants
I grew by mistake once (bought as spaghetti squash) got pulled up
the minute they showed their true colors.

About 5000 square feet, or so.

I love spaghetti squash. But the plants don't produce the abundance per
plant [for me] that others do.

Oh man, I love zucchs. Lunch for me last year, for about 2 weeks or so,
was 2 fresh tomatoes [with basil, salt, and pepper], 2 fresh zucchs, and
about a half-dozen fresh plums from the tree [golf-ball sized plum,
variety unknown].

I only have about 200 square feet of actual garden space, but it's all
raised beds, so I can plant a little more densely than I would in a
traditional "row-type" garden.
We still managed to grow about 30 different types of stuff last year.
Not a lot of any one thing, but a little of lots of different things.
