I think they probably would be. I've tried growing San Marzanos, and even regular plum tomatoes in the distant past, and they just didn't work for me.

Even Italians usually use canned tomatoes for sauce. They may use fresh for sauce a few times at the height of the season, but that's a lot of trouble. Though not for everyone. But... one September many years ago I was in a cab going home from the airport, and got into a conversation with the cabbie. He told me he and his brother-in-law had bought due quintali of tomatoes, and were making sauce of them.

Due quintali is about 440 pounds... Presumably the whole family was very busy...
