In MA, I have 3 Rutgers, a Roma, a Yellow Peach, and a currant tomato.
All have small fruits.

brandywine, cherokee purple, black plum, celebrity, and I've got
volunteers of Sweet 100 coming up all over. I've got one more variety,
can't recall.

I had two plants planted together and had a 6-7 foot tall bush with
the tops flopping over and running back down the outside of the cages.
literally, hundreds of tomatoes. I estimate 40-50% burst on the vine,
dropped, or fell while harvesting. I developed a huge ant colony at
the base of the plant. It was gross, some days the ground was a
jiggling black carpet. With that level of waste I just decided to skip
them. But they came back. I've had well over a dozen volunteers. I've
decided to let a few survive in containers. Maybe if contained they
wouldn't be so messy.

I haven't planted any Sweet 100s for about 6 years yet I
have PLENTY of them every summer (even though we have had
winters with temperatures below zero). This year I decided
not to compose the extra plants but instead gave them to my
neighbors kids (or grand kids). Just yesterday a neighbor's
five year old proudly reported that he has "four tomatoes
and lots of flowers" (tomato blooms).

Four varieties: 2 roma, 1 cherokee purple, 1 cherry, and 1 stupice. The
stupice has ripe fruit aready (central coast CA, planted mid-April).
All have fruit. The cherokee purple seems very susceptible to
fasciation, affecting almost half of the flowers.
