Boosts are necessary for that kind of setup and most non Endless Zone levels end long before that. It's impossible to get Tile Turnips after 3rd one without boosts for Sun Shroom. Most of the levels nowadays are cakewalk with boosts (especially with Sun producer boosts) and without them the levels feel very fast nowadays. Zombies come way early in multiples before you even have time to properly setup a defense. Sure Garlic gets health back after Plant Food (Seriously, which plant doesn't?), but with the low health it has now, without PF or boosts not much is of help here.

In short that's the thing these days: Plant are weak normally but have useful and/or powerful Plant Food effects and without boosts they are useless in tougher levels (both in normal and Ednless Zones).
